Florian Zeller, playwright, filmmaker and magnet for acting greats: I don't write what people like, but what they could like'

Every step that I have taken in my career has made me new to something, once again. I like not knowing everything and exposing myself to the unknown, he says. That same impulse led him to send a script for the film adaptation of The Father to Anthony Hopkins, an actor he had never met, and who Zeller would wind up directing in his cinematic debut, which won him an Oscar for best adapted screenplay and netted Hopkins his second Oscar for best actor.

You need to read the epic Argentinian horror novel Our Share of Night

I've read a lot of horror books over the last two years. But my absolute favorite is easily Mariana Enriquez' Our Share of Night. The book was originally published in 2019 in Argentina, but it only got an English translation in 2023. While it doesn't quite reach Stephen King lengths, at nearly 600 pages, I'd say it still counts as an epic.
