Within the book you’ll find epistolary stories, choose-your-own adventures, and transcriptions of notebooks, but more interestingly, you’ll also find an author looking inwards, shining a light on himself. Growing Things, a collection of nineteen stories, showcases a different side of Tremblay, not just an author known for his ambiguity, but also one willing to experiment with form in fascinating ways. Last year, The Cabin at the End of the World dismantled the home invasion novel, asking difficult questions about faith and belief. His novel Head Full of Ghosts wasn’t just a possession novel, but a look at how skewed our recollection of the past can be, especially when we want to lie to ourselves. Paul Tremblay’s status as a horror author has grown and grown (pun intended) over the last few years.
