A Serial Killer Possesses an Arcade Game in Middle Grade Horror Novel ‘Grin’

We’ve had horror movies about possessed inanimate objects ranging from dolls and cars to clothes and appliances — so why not an arcade game?

Written by D.W. Gillespie (Give Me Something Good to Eat), Grin will be published on August 26 via Delacorte Press.

The 272-page middle grade horror novel is perfect for budding horror fans between the ages of 8 and 12 that like Five Nights at Freddy’s and “Stranger Things.”

12-year-old video game aficionado Danny is overjoyed to be spending a week at his Uncle Bill’s arcade store, Pixelworks — he can play as many video games as he wants; he meets a new friend and possibly crush, Jodi; and the intriguing, incredibly addictive new video game, Grin, shows up in the shop.

But when Uncle Bill starts spending all his time playing the mysterious Grin, he begins acting… different. He’s erratic, impatient, and angry, almost as if he’s possessed. With the help from Jodi and a knowledgeable videogame streamer, Danny realizes that Grin holds the soul of a dead serial killer and must find a way to save his uncle before it’s game over.
