Publisher's Summary

Horror movies meet the horrors of growing up in this unique and hilarious collection of personal essays which examines the culture shock of aging as seen through the prism of pop culture addiction. Why grow up when you can watch TV instead? That’s the question at the heart of this story, in which multi-award-winning humor columnist Mike Cavaliere captures the funny and surprisingly poignant moments that define our journeys to and through adulthood.

Nearly 100 scary movies set the stage for true and sometimes cringeworthy tales—from late-night porta-potty tipping, a school-wide pantsing epidemic and becoming an overnight karate sensation, to receiving a rare disease diagnosis, becoming a stepparent, and wading through memories of love, death, “dance dads”, and so much more.

The Humorist: Adventures in Adulting & Horror Movies captures the moments both silly and sincere that define the process of coming-of-age, weaving in unexpected analogies to the history of horror cinema that speak to our universal need for human connection through cultural objects, the gift of fear, and the healing power of laughter.
