From Vulture’s “master of horror” Clay McLeod Chapman, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is a relentless, chilling social horror novel that blends psychological terror, supernatural possession, and sharp cultural commentary. Perfect for fans of The Last of Us and When Evil Lurks, this novel explores fear, paranoia, and the terrifying power of media influence.

🔪 Noah Fairchild has watched his once-polite Southern parents fall deep into right-wing media conspiracies, but when his mother leaves him a frantic voicemail about the “Great Reawakening”, he assumes it’s just another unhinged theory. Then his calls go unanswered.

🏚️ Driving from Brooklyn to Richmond, Noah finds his childhood home in ruins, his parents locked in a trance in front of the TV—until his mother violently attacks him.

🩸 Something is spreading. A possession-like epidemic is turning people into murderous monsters, their symptoms worsening the more time they spend watching certain channels, using specific apps, or visiting particular websites. Now, Noah and his young nephew, Marcus, are the only ones left unaffected—and they must escape to Brooklyn before it’s too late.

🔥 With searing social horror, mind-bending suspense, and visceral terror, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is a pulse-pounding, nightmarish look at modern media’s grip on the human mind.

📖 Perfect for fans of Jordan Peele, Paul Tremblay, and Stephen Graham Jones! 📖
