“Libling’s assured, quietly menacing debut [is] based on his World Fantasy Award–nominated novella of the same title. . . . Fans of Stand by Me and the like will find much to enjoy.” —Publishers Weekly #Hollywood #BookLover #Canada

"Hollywood North is a terrific novel about growing up in mid-century Trenton, Ont., but it’s also a great deal more than that. Michael Libling proceeds by way of subtlety and misdirection. ... Hollywood North is a coming-of-age story like no other, masterfully using the guise of supernatural horror to wrap its poison pill. Childhood idealism gives way to deceit. We give up the freedom of youth for weary resignation to the inscrutable and mostly grim workings of fate. Cold revenge is not a dish to be enjoyed but only a petty and bitter satisfaction. Childhood dreams are a source of regret and their loss a welcome oblivion. That probably sounds rather downbeat, but while Hollywood North is a dark fantasy, it’s presented in such a lively way, right down to the book’s delightful interior design elements, that you don’t notice the darkness falling until the curtain is pulled on The End. The writing has an immediacy and power of observation that tears the reader through the story like a dangerous set of rapids leading into a whirlpool of horror. The psychological and emotional business of growing up is a familiar theme in fiction, but it’s rarely been handled with this much sophistication while being so entertaining in the bargain. The balancing of pop, or even pulp, fiction with profundity is hard to maintain, but Libling makes it seem easy. As a novel containing history, real and imagined, we might even say the epic of Trenton has arrived." - Alex Good, The Toronto Star #BooksWorthReading #bookrecommendations #Canada

“Libling doesn’t just go for the jugular, he goes for your entire throat, then reaches all the way down and grabs onto your heart. Full of feeling and freakish delights, this is a wild, unpredictable story that will amaze and startle readers by turns. What if Patrick Bateman from American Psycho had been a family man? What would his son be like? Libling answers that question in this terrifying and darkly humorous tale of hereditary horror.” —Ian Rogers, author of Every House Is Haunted @WordFirePress #books #thrillers #romance
