“The universally well-paced, imaginative selections sizzle with energy, delivering an intoxicating blend of spine-tingling chills and 80s nostalgia." 

—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, STARRED REVIEW 

“An enjoyable horror anthology with a strong midnight chillers concept." 

—KIRKUS REVIEWS 

“IT CAME FROM THE MULTIPLEX is absolutely perfect! Weird, twisted, gross, funny, terrifying. A true homage to a decade that inspired a generation of top storytellers!" 

—JONATHAN MABERRY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF V-WARS AND ROT & RUIN 

"Fans of horror and film will find this intersection of literature and horror excellent, and the diversity and talents of the short story contributors to be exceptionally well done."

—MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW 

“These stories traverse the dark alleys of the 80s...they’re the reflections of the neon bar sign in the rain puddles...they’re the raw pain of a lost generation dressed in glamour and running eyeliner...they’re the hidden VHS tapes at the back of the video store they warned you about—the ones you can’t resist or get out of your mind after watching. This is your brain on horror. Any questions?" 

—JOHN PALISANO, PRESIDENT OF THE HORROR WRITERS ASSOCIATION, BRAM STOKER AWARD®-WINNING AUTHOR OF GHOST HEART 

“Highly recommended! In a literary tribute to 1980s slasher movies, these illustrious horror writers stay true to the genre formula: sex, drugs, rock n’ roll, and scary monsters. These 14 creepy tales take place at drive-ins and movie theaters—where on-screen horrors burst into even worse horrors OFF the screen!"

—BRINKE STEVENS, ACTRESS IN THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE
