A scary collection that will draw the reader in with each story. Each interconnected story explores the mysteries and dangerous encounters that unsuspecting travelers face on the Eris Ridge Trail. Every story contains unnatural phenomena and dread that will keep you in suspense. There are terrifying creatures, sketchy characters, politicians with secrets, and, of course, many creepy encounters. This collection is a true page turner that brings back the feeling and scares of campfire-style spooky stories.
This collection is a perfect introduction to readers who want to explore horror but aren’t quite sure what to expect. It is a great place to start for readers who do not want to overcommit to a full horror novel but are still willing to try and get spooked. Readers can feel the lingering dark atmosphere bleed from one story onto the next. The stories are intriguing enough that even after completing the collection, you’ll want to learn more about the Eris Ridge Trail and its travelers. These stories are great for fans who enjoy The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror storytelling.
I could not put this book down. I was immediately hooked after the first story and loved the interconnected nature of this collection. I was on the hunt for a low-stakes, mild horror book that still packed a punch without traumatizing me enough to leave a light on at night this week. This was an excellent choice and one I would highly recommend to readers who do not typically read horror but still want some scares.
For readers who enjoy Black Mirror and interconnected short stories
