Description: "A mind-twisting journey into the dark backwoods of terror. Deeply disturbing and absolutely riveting." -- Jonathan Maberry "A book which preys on our most basic, instinctive fears, then amplifies them ten-fold. A desperate, intense descent into the depths of somewhere unimaginably ancient and unspeakably evil." -- David Moody "'And on the second day things did not get better.' This suitably foreboding opening sentence sets the stage for a dark and mesmerizing horror debut that riffs on Algernon Blackwood's classic story 'The Wendigo.' Hutch, Luke, Dom, and Phil set off on a camping trip in the forests of Sweden, only to find the woods hostile to their explorations. Tensions arise when it becomes clear that two of the party aren't physically up to the challenges of navigating the rough terrain, and fears set in with the discovery of an eviscerated 'thing' hanging higher up in a tree then any animal would place it. Nevill makes the natural world deeply menacing, using the power of suggestion rather than explicit images to create a growing claustrophobic feeling as the difficult journey to return to some semblance of civilization embeds the quartet only further in the grasp of primal evil." -- Publishers Weekly - Starred Review "A spine-tingling tale of one man's survival in a truly horrific realm." -- Suspense Magazine suggestion rather than explicit images to create a growing claustrophobic feeling as the difficult journey to return to some semblance of civilization embeds the quartet only further in the grasp of primal evil." -- Publishers Weekly - Starred Review "A spine-tingling tale of one man's survival in a truly horrific realm." -- Suspense Magazine suggestion rather than explicit images to create a growing claustrophobic feeling as the difficult journey to return to some semblance of civilization embeds the quartet only further in the grasp of primal evil." -- Publishers Weekly - Starred Review "A spine-tingling tale of one man's survival in a truly horrific realm." -- Suspense Magazine suggestion rather than explicit images to create a growing claustrophobic feeling as the difficult journey to return to some semblance of civilization embeds the quartet only further in the grasp of primal evil." -- Publishers Weekly - Starred Review "A spine-tingling tale of one man's survival in a truly horrific realm." -- Suspense Magazine
