The news is making the publishing rounds so I can now announce that my novel The Blondes has been optioned by Branded Pictures Entertainment and producers J Todd Harris (The Kids Are All Right, American Psycho: The Musical) and Marc Marcum (I, Robot). I'm also happy to say that I'm writing the script with Brian Joseph Davis. We're pictured here lost in index cards at Cafe Grumpy. There'll be more news this fall, but for now I feel so lucky to be with producers who have a vision that's true to the novel, as well as being completely surprising.

A plague that only infects blonde women has been unleashed in New York City.

It's probably no coincidence that peak fascination with apocalyptic epidemic hit alongside a period of peak superficiality—our obsession with appearance and celebrity, our narcissism, is maybe one reason we all sort of feel like we deserve to get wiped out by zombies or a massive plague.

VICE’s Motherboard ran an excerpt from The Blondes as part of their Terraform fiction series.

NPR Books included The Blondes in their Great Reads 2015 roundup.

"The Blondes is scary and deeply, bitingly funny — a satire about gender that kept me reading until 4 in the morning — and a fine addition to the all-too-small genre of feminist horror."

Los Angeles Times reviews The Blondes

A pseudo zombie-tale...a road story, and a feminist bildungsroman, and a parable about prejudice and reproductive freedom and immigration.

Schultz spins an eerie tale with perspective into our cultural attitudes about beauty.

Entertainment Weekly reviews The Blondes

#the blondes #entertainment weekly

“SARS by Clairol.”

“What sounds like George Romero with a bottle of peroxide is surprisingly sensitive and contemplative… As classic blonde jokes acquire deadly hues, the novel’s satiric color remains subtle.”

A very fun and insightful take by Ron Charles in The Washington Post
