When Canadian author and ELLE Canada contributor Robert Wiersema was tasked with interviewing bestselling horror Andrew Pyper for our latest issue of ELLE Man, Wiersema couldn’t get over what a regular guy Pyper seemed. Not what you’d expect from “the master architect of dread.” But it’s perhaps the author’s unassuming nature that allows him to craft stories that toe the line between literary fiction and horror—what Pyper describes as “a trained restraint.” His newest release,
The Damned, tells the story of heaven and back—or more accurately, what happens after, asking: “what if wasn’t heaven but a… lower floor. Or what is someone goes and comes back and brings someone back with them?” All of these questions are sure to be answered during
The Dark Side II Tour, in which Pyper will be stopping in Toronto on March 13th (that’s Friday the 13th to be clear) to discuss all things horror.
