Meg Elison’s new tale of millennial culture and obsession gone wrong, Number One Fan, will be available from HarperCollins Books on August 30, 2022.
In the new unflinching horror novel, after hopping into a rideshare to attend a speaking event, bestselling author Eli Grey quickly finds herself trapped in a basement by a man who thinks she owes him everything, and will do whatever it takes to get it from her. Left to her own devices, she must piece together clues to escape the clutches of this superfan who will do anything to keep the world Eli has created in her books.
Richard Kadred, New York Times bestselling author of Sandman Slim has called Number One Fan: “A tense ride from the start…terrific,” and Cherie Priest, author of The Toll said, “[A] deeply spooky thriller that locks you down and wrings you out in the best way.”
