One of gaming's most fascinating urban legends becomes reality in a new novel published last week by Simon & Schuster imprint Gallery Books. Polybius, the debut novel by Collin Armstrong, transports readers to a small town during the golden age of arcade machines. Unfortunately for the citizens of Tasker Bay, the new game at their local arcade is about to wreak havoc on their daily lives. There are surprisingly few novels from major publishers centered around video games, and this one is definitely worth a read. Polybius is a fast-paced and thrilling tale that mixes psychological horror with sci-fi.
Polybius is available now in hardcover ($29), ebook ($15), and audiobook format ($13.64 or 1 Audible Credit). Amazon included Polybius on its list of the best sci-fi and fantasy novels of May 2025.
