Synopsis
Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel 2019 - The Cabin at the End of the World adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense.
Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake, with their closest neighbours more than two miles in either direction.
As Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young and friendly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologises and tells Wen, "None of what's going to happen is your fault". Three more strangers arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out, "Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world."
So begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are intertwined.

Review
"A tremendous book thought-provoking and terrifying, with tension that winds up like a chain. The Cabin at the End of the World is Tremblay's personal best. It's that good." --Stephen King
"Tremblay uses concise prose and smooth storytelling to evoke raw emotion in this tale of love, loss, and terror. . . . This stunning and tantalizing work of suggestive horror is sure to please admirers of Stephen King and Peter Straub."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Disappearance at Devil's Rock
"Disappearance at Devil's Rock is a true and powerful mystery novel, full of twists and horrors that will keep even the most jaded genre reader silently turning its pages late into the night."--New York Journal of Books on Disappearance at Devil's Rock"Think The Desperate Hours meets 10 Cloverfield Lane, but way, way stranger. With The Cabin at the End of the World, Paul Tremblay gives us a gloriously claustrophobic and gory tale of faith and paranoia. Signs and wonders and homemade battle-axes, oh my!"--Stewart O'Nan, author of The Speed Queen and A Prayer for the Dying
"Paul Tremblay loads emotion and tension into every paragraph on every page of The Cabin at the End of the World. It is a dream come true, a heartfelt, emotionally charged journey into our worst nightmares." --Caroline Kepnes, author of Youand Providence
"[A novel] about the clash of rational and irrational, hatred and violence, prophecies and religion gone mad, and perhaps hope. The Cabin at the End of the World is a terrific, disturbing, desperate novel, one that profoundly reflects the current political climate of North America and our ambiguous times."--Mariana Enriquez, author of Things We Lost in the Fire
"Tremblay once again demonstrates his talent for terrifying readers. Offering a terrible situation with no good outcome, this is the author at his best. Highly recommended for Tremblay's fans and those who relish end-of-the-world scenarios."
--Library Journal (starred review)"A blinding tale of survival and sacrifice that matches the power of belief with man's potential for unbridled violence." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Just like his excellent novel about possession - or not - A Head Full of Ghosts Tremblay skilfully keeps his readers guessing."--The Observer
"Every horror hurts, every loss wounds and it all comes down to desperately wanting this family to make it through. This is another superb novel from one of the genre s most exciting authors." --SciFi Now
"The book has a tremendous emotional impact made all the more devastating through its confined setting." --Black Static Magazine
"Paul Tremblay is the real deal! The Cabin at the End of the World is a heart-pounding, edge of your seat thriller that will leave you with one simple question: what would you do?" --J.D. Barker, internationally bestselling author of Forsaken and The Fourth Monkey
"I loved this book. It ramps up the stress level and doesn t let you rest until you get to the end... Tremblay has given us his best book yet, a book that will definitely be on a lot of "best of the year" lists." --Storgy
A harrowing story of a brutal home invasion that will stay with you long after reading. 10/10 --SciFi Bulletin
"A nailbiting, immeasurably tense rollercoaster ride of a thriller that will leave you flat out exhausted." --The Malestrom
