Hi Paul, first off, you are my favorite new author. Head Full of Ghosts was my favorite but Devil's Rock and Cabin were fantastic as well. I am very much looking forward to seeing Head Full of Ghosts adapted for the screen but let's face it...I'm scared! How involved are you going to be with the process? What are the things that you refuse to deviate from, even if the studio wants to edit? Are you writing screenplay?
Paul Tremblay
Hi, Nicole. Thank you very much for the read and kind words!
I have no contractual/official say with either adaptation right now. AHFoG is getting close, I'm told. Osgood Perkins is directing and hopefully we'll see some more movement forward soon.
With Cabin they are looking for directors now.
So, yeah, I'm not writing either screenplay, though the very nice Cabin folks have been asking for my feedback on the process so far. The movie in both cases are their own thing, separate from the book. I just hope that the movie captures the thematic spirit of the novel.

I just recently discovered your work and listened to three in a row. I'm wondering if there are any plans to revive Mark Genevich- no pun intended (by the way, I haven't listened to No Sleep Til Wonderland so I don't know if he went for the Big Sleep or not....) They said my question needs to contain a question mark?

Paul, I want to know what you think of the horror writers I’m reading right now. They are Brian Keene, Richard Laymon, and Jack Ketchum. I love Urban Gothic by Keene; The Cellar by Laymon; and Ketchum’s Off Season and its sequel Offspring. Do you like those 3? How about any of those books specifically? I would love to know what you think. Did they influence you at all? I still LOVE Head Full of Ghosts!

First off, just wanted to say I loved Head Full of Ghosts. And damn you for writing such a psychologically twisted book that kept me up for hours! Do you have any idea if the movie will be shot in a found footage (Cloverfield, Blair Witch) type way? I really enjoyed your book, and will definitely read more of your novels.
