The Girl in the Video first edition will go out of print at the end of May 2026 as the original publisher, Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing, is dissolving.

If you would like to buy a physical or electronic copy of the original edition of The Girl in the Video then you can do so at various online and in-person bookstores (order a copy in if they haven’t got one) but the best place to order to help both the publisher and author (hey, that’s me) is the official Ghoulish Books website here. So that I don’t create misinformation and spread panic throughout the horror fiction community, it is only PMMP that is dissolving and only PMMP titles that are going out of print. Ghoulish Books continues to live and thrive!

The audiobook of The Girl in the Video, narrated by RJ Bayley, will remain available as it’s published via This Is Horror.

Before you go, behold Pye Parr’s gorgeous cover art for The Girl in the Video. The original paperback edition of The Girl in the Video is the only way to get that. So, if you want it, please don’t delay and order your copy today.

There are a lot of things happening behind the scenes regarding The Girl in the Video (those who listen to the This Is Horror Podcast regularly may have picked up on this) and I strongly believe the first edition of The Girl in the Video will be a collector’s item one day, so, pick it up for a bargain $12.95 while you still can, and if you run into me at a convention, coffee shop, bookstore, in the street, at a heavy metal gig etc. etc. I’ll be happy to sign it for you.

MICHAEL DAVID WILSON

“Propulsive, modern, funny, frightening. The Girl in the Video will make you think twice about opening any anonymous videos sent your way. Then it’ll make you think twice again. Michael David Wilson has long added to the genre with his incredible podcast/press This is Horror, but here he offers a book, and now it’s time for someone else to interview him.”

—Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box, Unbury Carol, and A House at the Bottom of a Lake
