About this listen

 From Bram-stoker award nominated author Craig DiLouie comes a horror novel with a twisted tale of love, heartbreak, and the apocalypse. We all have bad exes. Lily Lawlor's just happens to be the antichrist. Sometimes, love can be hell...

1998: Lily Lawlor and Drake Morgan form a punk band. Drake inspires faith in some. Fear in others. Lily is a believer.

1999: A Battle of the Bands ends in a shocking death, and a riot that claims the lives of three teenagers.

2009: At the height of her stardom, Lily walks into a police station and confesses to murder.

Now: The band has refused to talk to the press about the night of the riot, Lily’s confession, or anything else. It's been over a decade, but Lily has finally agreed to an interview. And the band is following her lead.

What follows is a story of prophecy, death, and apocalypse. A story about love and love lost. A story about the antichrist. Maybe it’s all true. Maybe none if it is.

Either way, this is their story. And they’re sticking to it.

Horror Heartfelt Scary

Critic Reviews

“One hell of a performance! With My Ex, the Antichrist, Craig DiLouie once again proves he is a master of the epistolary genre. Immersive, compelling, and chillingly plausible. It’s as if you were there. Resounding.”—Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories
“The ultimate battle draped in rock and roll… DiLouie’s latest novel is an exciting glimpse into music history and the enigmatic 2000s with a timeless tale about the end of the world and love, of all things, as its connective tissue. What a wild ride.”—L. Marie Wood, author of The Realm Trilogy and The Promise Keeper
"Gory, glorious, and just a little too believable, Craig DiLouie’s latest is a slick meta slasher movie in book form, set in the brutal intersection of art and obsession."
—Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive

"DiLouie remixes classic horror tropes into a harrowing thriller set in 1988... Readers will be pulled in by the morally twisted characters and serpentine plot. Film buffs will especially enjoy this paean to ’80s slasher films and the people who love them."

—Publishers Weekly on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive
“How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive is a blood-spattered homage to horror films, an ode to the craft of filmmaking, and a cautionary tale about the fiery—often destructive—creative passion inside every artist, one that continuously teeters on the brink of insanity. DiLouie has created a celluloid cursed object story that John Carpenter himself would stand up and applaud from the front row.”—Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive
“A tricky, twisty book with more levels to it than a slasher movie has sequels. DiLouie knows what makes the horror genre tick.” —David Moody, author of the Hater and Autumn series on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive
"Confidently striding through the genre, DiLouie displays a deep and abiding love for horror, even as he finds new ways to bend our disgust and despair to his will. The camera cannot turn away."—Andrew F. Sullivan, co-author of The Handyman Method on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive

"With well-developed characters, a swiftly paced narrative, and mounting dread, this new twist on the ghost story will delight horror readers."

—Booklist on Episode Thirteen
"An epistolary descent into a living nightmare . . . well-written and genuinely unsettling. Fans of paranormal documentaries, ghost-hunting shows, and found-footage horror will lose their minds over this one."

—Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Kin on Episode Thirteen
