Verona Public Library is pleased to present First Word on Horror, a three-part documentary series featuring best-selling horror writers. The series offers a glimpse into the authors’ lives, the secrets behind their writing process, and the fears that make them human. Presented by producer Will Battersby.
Featured authors are:
- Stephen Graham Jones, a Blackfeet writer currently on the NYTimes bestseller list for his novel The Buffalo Hunter Hunter
- Paul Tremblay, who was on the NYTimes bestseller list last year with his novel Horror Movie
- Mariana Enriquez, Argentinian author whose last novel Our Share of Night was also on the NYTimes Bestseller list.
Here’s what critics are saying:
- “A must for horror fans and aspiring writers. These are nightmare-fuel bedtime stories” – The Alliance of Women Film Journalists
- “The series is a love letter to writers of all ilk, to the primacy of the human experience, and to the simple act of reading a damned good story.” – Adi Tantimedh
- “Don’t miss the opportunity to dive into First Word on Horror, a series poised to redefine how we engage with the narratives that haunt and inspire us.” – Following Films
