Ice Nine Kills will release “The Silver Scream” novel with an accompanying vinyl audiobook narrated by actor Tony Todd of “Candyman” fame.
Inspired by Ice Nine Kills’ 2018 album of the same name, “The Silver Scream” pays homage to some of the great horror film classics of the last forty years. Full of references and nods to films such as “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” “Friday the 13th,” “Halloween,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Saw,” “Edward Scissorhands,” “The Shining” and “It,” “The Silver Scream” blends horror fan fiction and Ice Nine Kills’ style of storytelling into a concept all its own.
Fresh from the cutting room floor, “The Silver Scream” exposes the bloodiest behind-the-scenes details of the most gruesome, shocking, true-crime tragedy of our time. Part autopsy, part grisly director’s “cut,” this is the only book with a comprehensive exploration inside the mind of America’s notorious, celluloid-obsessed, rock star turned cinema-copycat murderer, Spencer Charnas.
Bayonet Award–winning TV reporter Roy Merkin is the only storyteller in possession of the journals scrawled by disgraced psychotherapist Dr. Ian Black. “The Silver Scream” reconstructs, with unflinching detail, how fiction became fact, art imitated death and the most horrific movie murders by the likes of Jason, Leatherface, Freddy, Michael and the rest became real.
Merkin slashes open the ghoulish mind and tortured nightmares of Spencer himself, probing deeply, with razor-sharp precision. Learn how the box office created so many oblong boxes. Understand why this rock ‘n’ roll heartthrob chose to stop so many human hearts.
“The Silver Scream” is scheduled to be published August 2023 in hardcover and eBook worldwide.
Signed hardcovers and exclusive limited edition vinyl audiobook variant bundles are available through ICENINEKILLS.com and RAREBIRDLIT.com.
