Description

The New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller about a group of college students encountering supernatural terror while on a road trip through Appalachia—an unforgettable, chilling novel that is “scary and hard to put down. You might be advised not to read it at night” (Stephen King).

1983: Three students from a small college embark on a weeklong road trip to film a documentary on roadside memorials for their American Studies class. The project starts out as a fun adventure, with long stretches of empty road and nightly campfires where they begin to open up with one another.

But as they venture deeper into the Appalachian backwoods, the atmosphere begins to darken. They notice more and more of the memorials feature a strange, unsettling symbol hinting at a sinister secret. Paranoia sets in when it appears they are being followed. Their vehicle is tampered with overnight, and some of the locals appear to be anything but welcoming. Before long, the students can’t help but wonder if these roadside deaths were really random accidents…or is something terrifying at work here?

    This was a long written fast paced story once you got past the first several chapters once I got going it was truly horrifying and it’s truthful possibility. If you stick with the story to the end, you will not be disappointed. Not quite up to the bogeyman standards, but I truly enjoyed this book.

    For most of this book, I thought of the stupid Geico commercial with the ignorant teenagers hiding from an evil person in a shed full of sharp objects. You just want to yell at the protagonists to quit screwing around and go home. But they did not. I read this story with white knuckles wrapped around my iPad. And thoroughly enjoyed it.
