Wildwood Road
One wrong turn can change your life forever . . .
From a Bram Stoker Award-winning author of dark suspense comes
a harrowing trip into pure terror.
Michael and Jillian Dansky seemed to have it all -- a happy marriage,
two successful careers, a bright future. But late one Halloween evening,
driving home from a masquerade, Michael momentarily nods off behind the
wheel -- and wakes to find everything changed.
Standing by his car is the little girl he came within a breath of running
down. She leads Michael to her "home," an empty house haunted by whispers, and
sends him away with a whisper of her own: "Come find me." But in the weeks that
follow, it's clear that someone -- or something -- doesn't want Michael to find
her. And when one morning, a cruel, vindictive woman awakens in the guise of
his wife, Michael must now search not only for the lost girl but for a way to
find the Jillian he's always loved -- or die trying.
Reviews
"WILDWOOD ROAD is a brilliant novel of supernatural suspense that reminded me of the early classics by Ira Levin--think ROSEMARY'S BABY and you won't be disappointed. There's no baby, but oh baby, there is one creepy little lost girl that kept me turning the pages long after I should have gone to bed. This one's a keeper."
-- Stephen King
"Golden is one of the most hard-working, smartest, and talented writers of
his generation . . . Everything he writes glows with imagination."
-- Peter Straub
"Some of my editor friends tell me that horror fiction is finally starting to make a
comeback after the catastrophic boom and bust in the 1980s. If that's
true, writers like Christopher Golden are a big part of the reason. I
love a good scary story, but scares alone are not enough to carry a
book; a good horror novel needs to be a good novel first, with a
strong plot, interesting characters, and vivid and evocative writing. Golden
delivers all of that in spades in WILDWOOD ROAD, the best ghost story
I have read since... well, since the last time Stephen King wrote one.
Wonderfully atmospheric and creepy. Check it out, while I go off in
search of more of Golden's books."
