POLYBIUS by Colin Armstrong is a top-shelf horror set in 1982 about an arcade game that turns an entire town into violent lunatics. It’s NEEDFUL THINGS meets 28 DAYS LATER. @sadiehartmann.bsky.social, this needs to be in your to-read pile.

Polybius by Collin Armstrong is a great YA debut novel. Great mashup of sci-fi and horror. Based on an urban legend of an arcade video game made by the govt for psychological warfare. 📚🎧💙 📚🩸💙 📚🪐💙 www.theretiredlibrarian.com/2025/05/poly...

The day before we left I saw a post promoting Polybius' pub day and I am exactly the kind of bitch who slams her card down for a Polybius-themed work of fiction. I enjoyed it! Fun camping trip read. bookshop.org/p/books/poly...

Popped into the Barnes & Noble Studio City location for a copy of The Demon Haunted World, signed a few copies of Polybius while I was there! One of the coolest B&Ns out there...

#booksky Discussing POLYBIUS at Book Soup, Kevin Haulihan asked if there were any urban legends I heard about while growing up in southeastern Indiana - one sprang to mind immediately, the Chimera House. Were there any legends local to you???

"A Vastation" by Lustmord on The Empty Man soundtrack is an intense mood but also kind of gorgeous. A-plus movie, too. open.spotify.com/track/7HZcCN...
