Upcoming: Run Time by Catherine Ryan Howard (Aug, 2022) is a fun, twisty, thriller set on a horror movie set in the middle of the woods that plays with thriller and horror tropes. It also has the bonus of a fictional story you read inside the fictional story you’re reading—it’s like two for the price of one! Adele Rafferty fled Ireland after a bad experience on a film set and is living in LA. But now, after another disastrous audition, she gets a call about a horror film set to start production in a day that just lost their leading actor begging her to step in. And so she ignores all the warning signs, including a two week film schedule and skeleton crew, convinced this may be her last big break chance and gets on a plane back home. But once on set things take a turn, including the creepy things happening to the lead in her script happening to her! Will she get out in time to save herself or will she end up with the same fate as the character she’s playing–oh wait, she still hasn’t been given the ending to the movie she’s filming… While you wait, if you haven’t read any of CRH’s books pick up The Nothing Man, The Liar’s Girl, and 56 Days.
