Librarian Becky Spratford interviews Paul Tremblay, author of THE PALLBEARERS CLUB
We are so excited to share a new podcast episode between Readers' Advisor Becky Spratford and beloved author Paul Tremblay about his upcoming book, THE PALLBEARERS CLUB—a cleverly voiced psychological thriller about an unforgettable—and unsettling—friendship, with blood-chilling twists, crackling wit, and a thrumming pulse in its veins.
Becky reviewed THE PALLBEARERS CLUB for Booklist, giving it a STARRED review!
"In his brilliant new novel, Tremblay takes on the well-mined small-town, coming-of-age horror trope, transforming it into something so original, it elevates the entire genre."

Seirian Sumner's ENDLESS FORMS is an eye-opening and entertaining work of popular science in which a leading behavioral ecologist transforms our understanding of wasps, exploring these much-maligned insects’ secret world, their incredible diversity and complex social lives, and revealing how they hold our fragile ecosystem in balance.
Check out all of the rave reviews coming in for ENDLESS FORMS:
“Wasps, in all their endless forms, are not the annoying monsters we often believe them to be. Instead they are fascinating foundations of entire ecosystems, and essential to our lives. Sumner’s tale is thrilling, warm, and scholarly in equal measure, and brilliantly repairs the reputation of wasps—most beautiful and wonderful as they truly are.”
—Adam Rutherford, author of A BRIEF HISTORY OF EVERYONE WHO EVER LIVED
"A wasp admirer makes a delightful case for their importance.”
—Kirkus Reviews ⭐️ review
“[Sumner’s] passion for wasps and their global importance as both predators and pollinators is compelling…This interesting and entertaining work is sure to leave readers buzzing.”
—Booklist
