Praise for this book
"These aren't just stories they re spirits that linger, shadows that haunt, terrors that follow you even after you've closed the book... Growing Things is a collection of Paul Tremblay's most searing and powerful work yet." - Christina Henry
"Can't praise Paul Tremblay's GROWING THINGS highly enough. 19 creepy classics that will turn your favorite easy chair into an uneasy chair. One of the best collections of the 21st century." - Stephen King
"Both wildly entertaining and deeply unsettling, Paul Tremblay's writing has a way of sneaking under your skin and messing with your head. On the surface, Growing Things is a collection of bite-sized, disturbing and brilliantly observed stories, each one a tour de force of originality and verve, but it's far more than that. Some are interconnected in surprising ways; some will make you question everything you thought you knew about the craft of writing and the horror genre. And like the unstoppable undergrowth in the titular story, all are infused with an atmosphere of creeping dread. Superb. Can't rate it highly enough." - Sarah Lotz
"A skilled purveyor of the uncanny who always seeks meaning amidst the fear. One of the key writers who have made modern horror exciting again." - Adam L G Nevill
