If you liked THE SHINING, SHUTTER ISLAND, and CARRIE, this is the book for you. Even though it's a work of fiction, this book is inherently personal to me but also broadly relatable.

About BABY MARVIN

A psychological supernatural thriller. When a former child star's life falls apart on his 18th birthday, his mirror image comes into the real world to help him seek justice. Set in 1968 in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, BABY MARVIN explores fractured identity, traumatic truth, psychological breakdown and dysfunctional family. All with an amazing twist ending.

Laurie Kirk’s early life was the stuff dreams are made of. Bad dreams. An only child with a father who had walked out on her, she didn’t know she was a womb twin survivor with PTSD. Her neurodivergence rears its head when she writes, she is unstoppable. Laurie connected with her dead twin brother back in 2021 when her mediumship kicked in. She writes about him and her dead parents. Her hilarious pilot, TIL LIFE DO US PART, was a finalist in 2024 Series Fest’s pitch competition. It was also a quarterfinalist at the 2023 and 2024 Vail Film Festival. It details her relationship with her ghost family. Her first horror feature, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO BABY MARVIN, deals with duality. A quarterfinalist at 2025 Filmmatic Horror Screenplay Awards and a Semifinalist at A Night of Horror 2025. She turned it into the novel, BABY MARVIN and it's receiving rave reviews! Obsession with duality and dead parents—Laurie is the Batman of the Poconos.
