The story follows a group of students who encounter a supernatural terror while on a road trip through Appalachia.
In 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: Were these roadside deaths really random accidents, or is something terrifying at work here?
Chizmar is the coauthor (with Stephen King) of the bestselling novella “Gwendy’s Button Box” and “Gwendy’s Final Task.”
Recent solo books include “Becoming the Boogeyman” and “Chasing the Boogeyman.” He is the founder and publisher of Cemetery Dance magazine and the Cemetery Dance Publications book imprint.
