About the Book

“Clay McLeod Chapman is one of my favorite horror storytellers working today.”—Jordan Peele

“Surreal, hypnotic, unrelenting, profoundly claustrophobic, and an absolutely scathing sendup of the pitfalls of American divisiveness.”—Keith Rosson, author of Fever House

From Vulture‘s “master of horror” Clay McLeod Chapman, a relentless social horror novel about a family on the run from a demonic possession epidemic that spreads through media.

Noah Fairchild has been losing his formerly polite Southern parents to far-right cable news for years, so when his mother leaves him a voicemail warning him that the “Great Reawakening” is here, he assumes it’s related to one of the many conspiracy theories she believes in. But when his own phone calls go unanswered, Noah makes the long drive from his home in Brooklyn to Richmond, Virginia. There, he discovers his childhood home in shambles, a fridge full of spoiled food, and his parents locked in a terrifying trancelike state in front of the TV. Panicked, Noah attempts to snap them out of it and get them medical help.

Then Noah’s mother brutally attacks him.

But Noah isn’t the only person to be attacked by a loved one. Families across the country are tearing each other apart—literally—as people succumb to a form of possession that gets worse the more time they spend glued to cable news or falling down internet rabbit holes. In Noah’s Richmond-based family, only he and his young nephew Marcus are unaffected. Together, they must race back to the safe haven of Brooklyn—but can they make it before they fall prey to the violent hordes?

This ambitious, searing novel from one of horror’s modern masters holds a mirror to our divided nation, and will shake readers to the core.

More Praise for Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

“A damn roller coaster of a novel, the kind that leaves you shaking and shrieking and smiling. [Chapman] takes all that’s troubling our nation in the current day and, somehow, makes it all the more frightening.”—Victor LaValle, author of Lone Women

“The proximity of Chapman’s demons is enough to make one lock the doors, turn off the television, [and] curl into a ball in the dark. . . . A sparkling variety of narration, mad vivid energy, and even brilliantly funny bits.”—Josh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Incidents Around the House

“The Purge ain’t got nothin’ on this.”—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times best-selling author of I Was a Teenage Slasher

“With Wake Up and Open Your Eyes, Chapman isn’t merely checking the pulse of America—he’s tapping the vein. And trust me, there’s blood everywhere. This book throbs with body horror and familial conflict and, most notably, the sociopolitical nightmare we find ourselves in.”—Chuck Wendig, best-selling author of The Book of Accidents and Black River Orchard

“A profoundly terrifying, riveting, intense, nerve-shredding modern horror epic. This is Clay McLeod Chapman at the peak of his craft. Brilliant.”—Rachel Harrison, USA Today best-selling author of So Thirsty and Black Sheep

“Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is supercharged, gloriously maximalist, terrifying, and disgusting. But mostly it’s tragic, and hits much closer to home than any of us want it to.”—C. J. Leede, author of Maeve Fly and American Rapture

“A searing and deeply unnerving apocalyptic thriller executed with the true nerve of a master storyteller.”—Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

“This novel is relentless and utterly merciless. Chapman takes unflinching aim at modern American culture and nobody is safe in this brutal, insightful apocalypse!”—Christopher Golden, New York Times best-selling author of Road of Bones and The House of Last Resort

“Fabulously unhinged, this book is a hilarious and terrifying jamboree of modern-day horrors. Gory, chilling, and exhilarating, the book knows to relish its delicious madness. I haven’t had such a thrill in ages!”—Gerardo Sámano Córdova, author of Monstrilio
