The bestselling psychological thriller, now a major film
Josh Malerman’s literary output began as a young child as he wrote about a space-travelling dog. During his many years spent as lead singer and guitarist for band The High Strung, Josh never stopped writing, until one day, the drafts began to form chilling debut Bird Box, published in 2015. Josh lives in Michigan and tweets at @JoshMalerman.
‘BIRD BOX turns the old Hollywood cliché of facing down the demon
inside out – then tears it into little pieces’
Daily Mail ‘A book that demands to be read in a single sitting, and
through the cracks between one's fingers'
Hugh Howey ‘A lean, spellbinding thriller that Stephen King fans
will relish.’
Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW) ‘You wonder whether that brush
against your shoulder was some unspeakable horror or merely a
falling leaf’
SFX ‘This completely compelling novel contains a thousand subtle
touches but no mere flourishes – it is so well, so efficiently, so
directly written I read it with real admiration’
Peter Straub ‘Nailbiting … will keep you gripped till the last
chapter’
SciFiNow 'Unflagging suspense and ever-present dread’
Adam Nevill 'Uniquely disturbing, exceptionally compelling and
beautifully written, I defy anyone not to read it in one
sitting'
Sarah Pinborough ‘An unsettling thriller, earns comparisons to
Hitchcock's The Birds, as well as the finer efforts of Stephen King
and cult sci-fi fantasist Jonathan Carroll.’
– Kirkus (STARRED REVIEW)
