Overview

It's 1959 in a rural Indiana town, and the local drive-in is hosting their first-ever Dusk Til Dawn Spooktacular! And they've got a Percepto surprise in store for the audience, complete with vomit bags, nurses on staff, and a hearse parked just beneath the monsters onscreen. But June has a strange sense about things. Always has. And as the screams spread through the parking lot, reality and theatrics begin to blur for her and her friends. Is it just a gimmick, or is something lurking amongst the moviegoers?

""Buttery snack bar popcorn, drive-in intermission ads, classic horror cinephilia: clearly I'm the target audience for this book. But I think you'll love it too. The Film You Are About to See is a book with its eyes on the past, but at the same time announces Newlin as a modern horror voice to watch. It's showtime!"" -Adam Cesare, Bram-Stoker-Award-winning author of Clown In a Cornfield ""The book you are about to read is a cinephile's spine-tingling fever dream. Haley Newlin pens a love letter to celluloid, capturing the grain and gimmicks of a bygone era where the blood seeps right off the screen and into your book. William Castle would be proud... and you'll be absolutely terrified."" -Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes ""Retro, raucous, and a roaring good time, The Film You Are About to See is a must-read for horror fans everywhere. An absolute blood-soaked delight."" -Gwendolyn Kiste, Four-time Bram-Stoker-Award-winning author of The Haunting of Velkwood and Reluctant Immortals ""Energetic and full of popcorn and bodies. The Film You Are About to See pays loving tribute to the classic horror of yesteryear with a blood-soaked romp at the drive-in."" -Hailey Piper, author of A Light Most Hateful ""Newlin takes everything we love about classic horror films and the drive-in experience, turning pages into silver screens with piercing screams."" -Nick Roberts, author of Mean Spirited and The Exorcist's House ""Like a mad scientist from the films of yore, Haley Newlin has crafted a delightfully deranged spectacle on the page with The Film You Are About to See. You'll never want to leave this blood-soaked drive-in... but the creepy thing in your backseat won't let you anyway."" -Brian McAuley, author of Breathe In, Bleed Out and Curse of the Reaper ""The Film You Are About to See is a spooktastic tribute to classic horror films that will leave your spine tingling. With a kick ass heroine, gore galore, and the creepiest creature ever to grace a drive-in, you'll devour this novella faster than a bucket of movie theater popcorn!"" -Angela Sylvaine, Bram-Stoker-Award-nominated author of Frost Bite and Chopping Spree ""The Film You Are About to See has all the glorious flavor of a classic horror movie combined with characters you can't help but love. Haley Newlin's writing evokes both a 1950s time capsule and a fun, monster-filled romp you won't be able to put down."" -Viggy Parr Hampton, author of The Rotting Room ""From the opening reel to the final frame, The Film You Are About to See is bursting with monster-movie mayhem. This is drive-in horror at its gleefully bloody, devilishly fun, and heartfelt best!"" -V.S. Lawrence, author of 80s Ghosts and With Friends Like These ""Full of appreciation for the genre, beautifully written, and above all, a really fun time, wrapped in a celluloid skin of pure retro camp, The Film You Are About to See is a story that will not release readers from its pincered grip until the end credits roll. With nods to Castle and Price and their B-Movie brethren, this is a creature feature with claws and brains that is not to be missed."" -FanFiAddict
