The Cabin at the End of the World
Paul Tremblay’s terrifying twist to the home invasion novel—inspiration for the upcoming major motion picture from Universal Pictures
“Tremblay’s personal best. It’s that good.” — Stephen King
Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.
One afternoon, 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, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, “None of what’s going to happen is your fault.” Three more strangers then 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.”
Thus 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 entwined. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.

From the start of this book, foreboding filled me. Sweet little Wen is collecting grasshoppers and proves more lovable the more we learn about her. Then she makes a new friend who has traveled just to find her family at the remote cabin they’ve rented. He has brought three associates who fill Wen with the same foreboding. But who or what has brought these seven individuals together? And for what purpose? WARNING: PROBABLE SPOILER: This book contains violence and cursing.

Exposes the depths of our fears and hopes and how they were seeded.

I liked the narrative but was way to wordy at times! I caught myself skimming over passages overly talked about! Your audience is not whittles! Scale it back.

Great storyline. I raced through it

I read this one very quickly. I couldn’t put it down. However I think the mental state you read the book is important. It can be very polarising, as the ending is not what you expect. Also, there is a lot that isn’t exactly described, but that’s essentially the same as how the main characters are seeing the world. They are just as confused as you will be. But I love a really good ambiguous horror story.
