Richard Chizmar Memorials review, recensie en informatie
- “Scary and hard to put down. You might be advised not to read it at night.” (Stephen King)
- “Chizmar wows in an immersive and über-creepy novel that pays subtle homage to horror classics ranging from the works of H.P. Lovecraft to The Blair Witch Project…gradually ratchets up a palpable feeling of unease through an accumulation of small unsettling moments…Chizmar pulls no punches on the way to a thoroughly satisfying finale…It’s a tour de force.” (Publishers Weekly)
Flaptekst van de nieuwe thriller van Richard Chizmar
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.
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?
