Publisher's summary

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?

good story.

The main characters actions are the definition of what main characters do in horror stories but it's better than the newer releases.

What happens in Appalachia stays in Appalachia

Richard Chizmar delivers another creepy tale set in Pennsylvania this time. He spins a great story of three college students bonding on a road trip/college assignment. But something during their travels doesn’t seem quite right.

slow start

It was a little slow to start and slightly predictable but a good story with a small twist at the end.

Very slow burn with no actual fire

I waited so long to purchase this book and I really wanted to like it. The premise was good, new and original.

it just took SO LONG to get to where things started to get creepy and just like that it came to a head and was over. I felt like the first half if the book was more of a descriptive narrative that sort of helped you get to know the characters but didn't dig into the "spookiness" as promised.

it was good enough as an ear worm while I worked but...just not enough to keep me engrossed.
