Ghost Road Blues

Product Description
Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel

From a master of horror comes an apocalyptic showdown between the residents of a secluded, rural town and the deadly evil that confronts them wherever they turn.

Evil doesn't die.

The cozy little town of Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have gone by since the darkness descended and the Black Harvest began, a time when a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village. The evil that once coursed through Pine Deep has been replaced by cheerful tourists getting ready to enjoy the country's largest Halloween celebration in what is now called ''The Spookiest Town in America.''

It just grows stronger.

But then--a month before Halloween--it begins. Unspeakably desecrated bodies. Inexplicable insanity. And an ancient evil walking the streets, drawing in those who would fall to their own demons and seeking to shred the very soul of this rapidly fracturing community. Yes, the residents of Pine Deep have drawn together and faced a killer before. But this time, evil has many faces--and the lust and will to rule the earth. This struggle will be epic.
Review
''Maberry supplies plenty of chills, both Earth-bound and otherworldly, in this atmospheric horror novel . . . This is horror on a grand scale, reminiscent of Stephen King's heftier works.'' --
Publishers Weekly

''Without a doubt this prolific author is the next Stephen King. Maberry deserves more than a Bram Stoker Award for this; he deserves Bram Stoker to rise from his grave and shake his hand.'' --
New World Reviews

''A chilling tale--lyrical, melodic, and dark. Maberry breathes new life into modern horror fiction.'' -- Scott Nicholson, bestselling author of
The Red Church

''Serves up scares like pancakes at a church social.'' --Gregory Frost, bestselling author of
Shadowbridge

''If I were asked to select only one new voice in horror fiction to read today, it would be Jonathan Maberry.'' -- Katherine Ramsland, bestselling author of
The Vampire Companion

''If you think small town horror has nothing new to offer, you have a surprise in store.
Ghost Road Blues demonstrates that even the most haunted town in America is unprepared for the full depth of evil, either human or inhuman.'' --Don D'Ammassa, author of
Blood Beast
