I'll Quit When I'm Dead

“Your workout begins with reps of thrilling scenarios before stretching into an unputdownable story. All upon a mat of fantastic writing. Never has self-improvement existed on such pins and needles.”—Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Incidents Around the House

“Smitherd pulls off one hell of a trick with I’ll Quit When I’m Dead, a uniquely compelling, propulsive thriller and an eerily unsettling horror novel all rolled into one. Highly recommended!”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Birds and Road of Bones

"Luke Smitherd's I'll Quit When I'm Dead is a shadowy mirror maze of terror and suspense. Just when you think you know where it's going, you're blindsided by another shocking twist. I devoured it in two breathless sittings."—Richard Chizmar, New York Times bestselling author of Memorials

"I'll Quit When I'm Dead is gripping from the first page, pulling the reader deeper with every twist and turn. Smitherd is so incredibly talented and has proven himself to be a master of suspense in this surreal, nightmarish ride."—Monika Kim, author of The Eyes Are the Best Part

"Captivating, unique, and an utter page-turner from start to finish, I'LL QUIT WHEN I'M DEAD shines a light on the questionable lengths humans will go to, all under the guise of "self-improvement." A must-read!" —Carissa Orlando, author of The September House

"Smitherd managed to surprise me at least half a dozen times throughout this book. Every time I thought I knew where it was going, the next page proved me wrong. An intense, hallucinatory journey that shows--in fist-clenching detail--how far some people are willing to go in that perpetual hunt for the best version of themselves."—Keith Rosson, author of Coffin Moon and the Fever House duology

"Both Madison and Johnny find strength deep within as they face the demons that put them in their situations, and readers won't want to put this page-turning horror novel down but will keep reading to see how both characters triumph over impossible odds."—Booklist

"Smitherd, who lives in both Los Angeles and Coventry, England, returns with a horror novel that follows two people: Madison, who joins an all-female boot camp to break her breakup-related junk-food habit, and Johnny, who goes to a remote cottage to detox from pain pills. There’s something sinister lurking in both places, though.”—Orange County Register

"Part 'Stranger Things,' part Stephen King. . . It's a gut-punch of a story with a twisty, satisfying payoff."
