A group of students encounter a supernatural terror while on a road trip through Appalachia in this chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the “unforgettable and scary” (Harlan Coben) Chasing the Boogeyman.

1983: Three students from a small college embark on a week-long 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?

Not a fan of the narrator, to whiny for the character in my opinion. Still a solid read/listen.

Solid but not great.

I’ve enjoyed every Richard Chizmar book that I’ve read… starting with Gwendy’s Button Box (with Stephen King), through the Boogeyman series… but this story didn’t have the liftoff the others had.

Kinda flat… not the Richard Chizmar I’m familiar with

The satanic panic was real because I lived through it. This book takes you on a journey of friendship, family, love as well as fear, dread and surprise. The characters were all so great and I literally felt like I was right beside them on their journey through the roadside memorials. Go read !

Amazing story

The first thing I thought while reading this book is that it would make a great movie. This was one of the first books in a long time that just gave me a sense of tension and unease the whole time I read it!

This should be a movie

I enjoyed the story but the story was taking too long to build tension.

Good Story, Too Slow Paced

I loved this book. The character development was beautiful; you'll fall in love with these characters and the deep bond they share.

The mystery and suspense carries through the whole way, as it crackles with tension and breathless anticipation of what may come next. Truly an engrossing tale that will keep you invested till the end.

The narration was also really good! My first time listening to this fellow, and he is very talented. Also my first "read" of Richard Chizmar, and I will definitely purchase another one of his books. Terrific writing indeed.

I liked it , good story , likable characters.
Didn’t care much for the sex scene. It took away from the book and after scene the long list of people I wanted to recommend this book to was shortened.

Good book

It took me a couple hours to get in synch with the narrator, but then grew to really like his delivery. There is not a ton of action, but the character development was very well done. You care about all the characters by the end. I was also left guessing all the way until the end. I couldn't decide whether the creepy events were the acts of an individual, larger conspiracy, or supernatural.
The ending was mostly well done, but there is one event at the end that seemed unnecessary and took me out of the book for a few moments. It wasn't really the event itself, as I don't get upset about such things in books, but that it did not really belong in this story arc. All in all, very well done and I will seek out more books from this author.

Very entertaining.
