Polybius

“Polybius by Collin Armstrong takes the 1980s urban legend of a sinister government experiment involving a mysterious arcade game and - like all good horror - brings the legend to life by building it around people and finding the humanity within the terror. We come to care for the community of Tasker Bay as a figurative Hell is unleashed upon their unsuspecting souls. Urban legends endure, they stick within the dark corners of our minds, because they are plausible outlets for our otherwise untethered fears and anxieties. Although it’s set in the 80s, has there ever been a better time for a story about how technology and screens are capable of twisting our psyche and bringing out our worst impulses?”

Collin Armstrong has worked in the entertainment industry for over a decade developing, writing, and producing material for outlets including 20th Century Fox TV, ABC Family, Bleecker Street, Viaplay, Discovery, and the LA Times Studios. Polybius is his first novel. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children.
