About this listen

Horror Movie meets the scope and emotion of Stephen King in this heart-pounding, magnetic tour de force about a woman pulled into a cult horror film that is determined to have a sequel, by critically acclaimed author Michael Wehunt.

Ten years ago, Jorie Stroud was the rising star of the October Film Haunt–a trio of horror enthusiasts who camped out at the filming locations of their favorite scary movies, sharing their love through their popular blog. But after a night in the graveyard from Proof of Demons–perhaps the most chilling cult film ever made, directed by the enigmatic Hélène Enriquez–everything unraveled.

Now, Jorie has built an isolated life with her young son in Vermont. In the devastating wake of her viral, truth-stretching Proof of Demons blog entry—hysteria, internet backlash, and the death of a young woman—Jorie has put it all, along with her intense love for the horror genre, behind her.

Until a videotape arrives in the mail. Jorie fears someone might be filming her. And the “Rickies”–Enriquez obsessives who would do anything for the reclusive director–begin to cross lines in shocking ways. It seems Hélène Enriquez is making a new kind of sequel…and Jorie is her final girl.

As the dangers grow even more unexpected and strange, Jorie must search for answers before the Proof of the movie’s title finds her and takes everything she loves.

This riveting and layered horror novel unleashes supernatural terror in a world where truth can be manipulated, and nothing is as it seems. Beautiful and horrifying, with an unforgettable cast of characters, The October Film Haunt will shock and delight listeners all the way to its breathless final moment.

"So unique and steeped in 21st century paranoia and dread you won't be able to read this alone at night."–Paul Tremblay

"The horror in here is palpable, but the writing itself is just as scary: How can one pen have this many good lines in it?"–Stephen Graham Jones

What the critics say

"Michael Wehunt's rabbit punch of a novel is as beautifully written as it is affecting. The October Film Haunt cleverly deconstructs horror stories while at the same time constructing one that is so unique and steeped in 21st century paranoia and dread you won't be able to read this alone at night. Speaking for a friend, of course."—Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and A Head Full of Ghosts

"The October Film Haunt will dig a hole in you, plant roots, and grow. Michael Wehunt's novel is both a meditation on film—its language and its power—and a terrifying exploration of how our pasts can haunt us as persistently as any ghost."—Nick Cutter, bestselling author of The Queen and The Troop

“Intelligent, emotional, and very very scary. One of the best books I’ve read in years. The October Film Haunt begins personal, zooms out to epic, and then ends with you and the book curled alone, in the dark, with someone or something standing, unwelcome, in the corner. Wehunt’s prose is beautiful and his observations about horror film fandom and horror filmmaking… hit a little too close to home. But maybe that’s just a me thing.”—Adam Cesare, USA Today bestselling author of Influencer and Clown in a Cornfield
