Osgood Perkins has become a heavy hitter in the horror genre, delivering films like The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, and Gretel & Hansel, which just arrived in theaters. So, you may be wondering what’s next for Perkins. According to Bloody Disgusting, he’s next doing a loose adaptation of Paul G. Tremblay‘s A Head Full of Ghosts which won the 2015 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel. Stephen King said the novel, “Sacred the living hell out of me and I’m pretty hard to scare.” The plot of the novel involves an American family under strain when their fourteen-year-old daughter, Marjorie Barrett, exhibits signs of mental illness.

Mary Shelley, known for her classic novel Frankenstein, wrote another less known novel, The Last Man, published in 1826.

Called “a sickening repetition of horrors,” by one reviewer, the dystopian tale is set in 2100 in England. The people in the novel travel in ballons and the rest of the world is at peace, save for Greece and Turkey who are at war. Narrator, Lione Verney recounts the story of his life before becoming the last man alive after a plague sweeps the world. He witnesses the breakdown of society and the growth of doomsday cults as people struggle to find a cure for the plague, to uncover where it came from and what caused it.
