Beyond the Tropes at The Center for Fiction Returns this spring with the works of Paul Tremblay We're switching gears from horrors in NYC to the singular works by an award-winning horror author. Bram Stoker Award-winning horror and dark fantasy author Paul Tremblay is known for exploring the human condition through terrifying, thought-provoking fiction. His work expertly bridges the supernatural with the realistic in unique ways. Come read and discuss four of his most chilling works—centering on family dynamics and trauma, the influence of pop culture and media sensationalism, and how ordinary people grapple with faith, fear, doubt, and monstrousness in the face of the unknown.

Center for Fiction Upcoming Reading Group: Horror in New York City Part Three My reading group with The Center for Fiction is back. If you're interested in signing up you can click the link here. Below is a full description of the group. In this reading group, we will continue our exploration of horror novels set in New York City.
