Publisher's Summary
A cleverly voiced psychological thriller about an unforgettable and unsettling friendship, with blood-chilling twists, crackling wit and a thrumming pulse in its veins, from the best-selling author of The Cabin at the End of the World.
What if the coolest girl you’ve ever met decided to be your friend?
Art Barbara was so not cool. He was a 17-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s who listened to hair metal, had to wear a monstrous back-brace at night for his scoliosis and started an extracurricular club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. But his new friend thought the Pallbearers’ Club was cool. And she brought along her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses.
Okay, that part was a little weird.
So was her obsessive knowledge of a notorious bit of New England folklore that involved digging up the dead. And there were other strange things—terrifying things—that happened when she was around, usually at night. But she was his friend, so it was okay, right?
Decades later, Art tries to make sense of it all by writing The Pallbearers’ Club: A Memoir. But somehow this friend got her hands on the manuscript and, well, she has some issues with it. And now she’s making cuts.
Critic Reviews
"The Pallbearers Club is Tremblay at his most audacious best. It's such a sneaky mindblower! It'll burrow deep inside you, and by the end, you'll be wondering if the room you're sitting in, the people you're talking with, or even your own memory, are real." (Sarah Langan, author of Good Neighbors)
"Books can have teeth. A whole mouthful of them. The Pallbearers Club has a whole lifetime of them." (Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times best-selling author of My Heart Is a Chainsaw)
"The most beautiful and heartbreaking funeral I've been to in a long time, The Pallbearers Club is melancholy, funny and very cruel, but you won't regret carrying this coffin." (Grady Hendrix, New York Times best-selling author of The Final Girls Support Group)
