The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

He is one of the founders of the New York Asian Film Festival, but he is not responsible for the bad parts of it. Grady Hendrix used to be a journalist, which means that he was completely irrelevant and could be killed and turned into food at any time. In a surprise twist, this book is actually about a Southern vampire getting clubbed to death with books by the band, Slayer. His latest novel is the New York Times bestseller, The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, which is being turned into a TV series by Amazon right now because they own everything. It’s also one of Locus’s recommended novels of 2018 and earned him an article in the Los Angeles Review of Books that makes him sound like some kind of smart person or something.

His next novel was We Sold Our Souls, a heavy metal take on the Faust legend, which hit bookstores in 2018 and got selected as one of the best books of 2018 by Library Journal, the Chicago Public library, and, finally, his mom. It is so popular it won a Stoker Award, and while you may not know what that is, trust me when I say that it is a big, big deal that gets Grady 20% off all purchases at the Franklin Mint. Refusing to stop trying to prove himself to his family, he also wrote Paperbacks from Hell, a history of the horror paperback boom in the Seventies and Eighties.

Surprisingly, this is still not enough for him to earn his mother’s love. His novel My Best Friend's Exorcism, about demonic possession, friendship, exorcism, and the Eighties, is basically Beaches meets The Exorcist and it caused the Wall Street Journal to call him 'a national treasure' and received rave reviews from everyone from Kirkus to Southern Living. He is busy inserting a whole lot of tutus into it right now. Foolishly, they are paying Grady to write it. It has been translated into 14 languages and is being turned into a movie from the people who made quality films like 1917 and Black Swan. He is the author of Horrorstör, the only novel about a haunted Scandinavian furniture store you'll ever need. Grady Hendrix writes fiction, also called 'lies,' and he writes non-fiction, which people sometimes accidentally pay him for. When you are on his website, he can see you. In this place, he is all up in your areas and he even wrote the words that you are reading right now. Like gravity, or ugly people, Grady Hendrix is hard to escape, especially here on his website.
