on the streamer in December 2018. “The movie was everywhere,” says Malerman. “It was like standing at the head of a wind tunnel.” The film, in turn, helped make the book a bestseller almost five years after it was initially published. The Ferndale, Mich.-based author reveals that the book’s success has changed his life in a couple of important ways. “It did a lot for me, and not just monetarily, though I bought a house,” he says.
The author began mulling a possible second book about Malorie, and the lethal world in which she lives, after viewing the film. “I’m watching the movie with my fiancée, Allison, at the Netflix office,” he says. “At the end of the movie, I looked over to Allison and I was like, ‘Well, now what happens to Malorie?’ [Laughs] And then she’s like, ‘I think that’s up to you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’"he had edited out of the book before it was published.
