Paul Tremblay to Publish Middle Grade Horror Novel ‘Another’ in 2025

New York Times bestselling horror author Paul Tremblay — whose The Cabin at the End of the World was adapted into M. Night Shyamalan‘s Knock at the Cabin — has announced his first middle grade novel.

Another will be published in hardcover, e-book, and audio book on July 22, 2025 via Quill Tree Books.

Aimed at readers ages 8-12, the 256-page tale of an unsettling, unbreakable friendship features cover art by Sam Wolfe Connelly, who also created eight interior illustrations.

The official synopsis reads, “When Casey Wilson’s parents tell him that his friend is coming for a sleepover, he has no idea who that might be. Ever since the Zoom Incident, everyone treats him like a pariah, and his tics are worse than ever.

“When Morel appears, he’s not like any friend Casey has ever met. His skin is like clay, and he doesn’t speak. But Casey’s parents are charmed by the strange kid, and it’s nice to have someone to talk to besides his sister, Ally, who is away at college. As his normally loving parents grow distant from Casey, they gush and fawn over Morel. Casey knows something is wrong—but with no end in sight to the sleepover, he’s exhausted. And in the dark, out of the corner of his eye, Morel doesn’t look like a kid at all…”

An adaptation of Tremblay’s 2015 novel, A Head Full of Ghosts, is currently in the works from filmmakers Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (The Lodge, Goodnight Mommy).
