Josh Malerman Plans Third ‘Bird Box’ Novel

Author Josh Malerman, known for the post‑apocalyptic novel *Bird Box* and its sequel *Malorie*, said he hopes to write a third installment. In an interview with Gamereactor at the Celsius 232 event, he described a fantasy of a 1,200‑page epic that would expand the blind‑folded world where seeing the unseen drives people mad or to suicide. Malerman likened the character Malorie to a twin sister and expressed gratitude for the film adaptation starring Sandra Bullock, calling it “the greatest thing that ever happened” for him. He also noted he would have liked stricter blindfold rules in the movie.
