Bookseller recommendation

“Appalachian folklore has rules. Don't whistle in the woods at night, trust no one, including yourself, and most importantly, when the locals warn you to leave, you do it. A lesson learned the hard way by three college students who decide to do a school project on roadside memorials deep in the Appalachians of Pennsylvania. As their nightmare begins, they have no idea what is real, what is magic and if they can even believe their own eyes. No one is safe and everyone is suspect. For me, this is one of the creepiest books of the year. ”
— Suzanne • Underground Books

Summary
About the author

THE NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER
A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF 2024
“Scary and hard to put down. You might be advised not to read it at night.” —STEPHEN KING

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?
