The Remaking

An HWA Summer Scares Pick! A 2019 Goodreads Choice Awards Semifinalist “An ambitious mosaic novel exploring the power of urban myth and superstition.”— The Guardian “Something like Stephen King’s imperfect masterpiece The Shining.”— Kirkus Reviews “This disorienting and immersive story anchors itself in history but stretches its terrifying tentacles into the present, producing intense chills.”— Library Journal “Chapman has expertly crafted an ouroboros of a horror story. The Remaking is a fast-paced and haunting examination of how misogyny poisons our culture, generation after generation. It’s absolutely chilling. You won’t be able to put it down or stop thinking about it after the lights go out.”—Mallory O‘Meara, author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon “Jumps out the gate and takes the reader on [a] wild and unnerving ride.”— Horror DNA, 4 out of 5 star review “A streamlined page turner of clearly cut supernatural encounters that moonlights as a frighteningly lucid story of injustice. Be it a specter or a painful recollection, Chapman teaches an absolutely chilling lesson on just how long the past will wait to bite you.”— Fangoria “A ripping good yarn. The Remaking first takes you into its confidence and then makes you wonder if you are also cursed with and by this story. Because, incidentally, you are.”— Richmond Magazine “Chapman tells a well-paced, spare story with original twists and some definite shocks.”— Star News “If there‘s any justice, The Remaking will introduce Chapman to a wider audience of readers anxious for the kind of horror tale that claims a little piece of your brain as its own.”— BookTrib “Chapman has crafted a fascinating horror novel that is both excellent within itself and a sharp commentary on an element of the genre.”— SFFWorld “As both a novel of psychological terror and a traditional ghost story, this short, chilling read is recommended for all collections.”— Booklist “An obvious valentine to the horror genre.”— The Big Thrill
