About this listen

From the bestselling author of Bird Box and Incidents Around the House, an impassioned book about a night that changed the author’s life and put into perspective the writing life—and how you too can be inspired to face the fears that might hold you back from doing your best work

One night, bestselling author Josh Malerman—then just an aspiring writer—watched Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead with his fiancée and two friends. It was a gathering that could’ve gone unnoticed, another date night with a movie, but for Malerman, it became a landmark. It changed the course of his life, and it will inspire you to reflect on your own journey and to discover existing triumphs that are within you already.

Describing the course of the night, Malerman reflects on his life, from his career as a musician to his stack of rough drafts, written prior to ever being published—and on how meeting the love of his life, a fellow creative, opened him to new experiences and new ways of viewing the world they now quest through together.

Malerman deploys his own story to help readers not only write their unwritten stories but celebrate their uncelebrated victories: to find their voice, their vision, and their joie de vivre. By simply describing an uncommon and uncanny night, he guides aspiring writers beyond the blank page to the immortal life of the writer.

Critic reviews

“A raw-throated, wild-eyed, pulse-quickening sermon on not just art—but passion and persistence. You’ll get an intimate tour of Josh Malerman’s creative mind with its many curious, romantic, funny, frightening, and charmingly digressive warrens. You’ll get a chronicle of a stubbornly expressive life that gives us an example of how to love with your whole heart and engage meaningfully with the movies, music, paintings, books, and people that surround us. This is a must-read book for creators of every kind. It will light an inspiring torch inside you and send you rushing to the keyboard or camera or canvas.”—Benjamin Percy, author of The Ninth Metal, Red Moon, Refresh, Refresh, and Thrill Me
