Ghost Road Blues

Ghost Road Blues Synopsis

A small town once haunted by a serial killer braces for a new evil in this debut horror novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Ink. Thirty years ago, a blues musician called the Bone Man killed the devil at the crossroads, only to be beaten and hung like a scarecrow in a cornfield—or so the story goes. Today, the people of Pine Deep celebrate their town's grisly past by luring tourists to the famous haunted hayride, full of chills and scares. But this year as Halloween approaches, ';The Spookiest Town in America' will learn the true meaning of fear. Its residents will see the real face of evil lurking behind the masks of ordinary people. They will feel it—in their hearts, in their bones, in their nightmares. Because evil never dies. It only grows stronger . . .Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best First NovelFirst in the Pine Deep TrilogyPraise for Ghost Road Blues ';Maberry supplies plenty of chills, both Earth-bound and otherworldly, in this atmospheric horror novel . . . .
