*Soon to be a major motion picture*
From international bestselling authors James S. Murray (better known as "Murr" on the hit TV show Impractical Jokers) and Darren Wearmouth, comes You Better Watch Out, a suspenseful, serial killer thriller that leaves you wondering, is Christmas really the best time of the year?
Forty-eight hours until Christmas, Jessica Kane wakes up with blurred vision, ears ringing, and in excruciating pain. A gash in her head and blood running down her face, the last thing she remembers is going for a run and something or someone hitting her in the head.
It doesn't take her long to realize she is trapped in an unknown, deserted town with five other strangers who share similar stories of being attacked and stranded there. Unsure why and how they got there, she knows one thing for certain, she has to find a way out.
That becomes nearly impossible when someone is meticulously orchestrating their deaths, one by one, and the only thing Jessica can do is watch the life leave their eyes.
The fenced-in town is the killer’s very own playground and there's nowhere left to hide... she better watch out because she could be next.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
And Then There Were None meets Saw in the deliciously demented latest collaboration between Murray and Wearmouth (after The Stowaway). Hoping to make some easy money just before Christmas, small-time crook Eddie Parker follows an elderly man in a wheelchair and his wife into an upstate New York grocery store after seeing them brandish a large wad of cash. Instead, as he's pretending to help them load their bags into their minivan, he's knocked out and awakens in an old, abandoned home without his wallet or cell phone. Soon, he learns that five others have been imprisoned with him inside a ghost town rimmed by an electric fence. While Eddie and his fellow captives—including fraudster Greg Fisher, convicted rapist Damien Hurst, drug dealer Tank, and two young women named Trinity Jackson and Jess Kane, whose pasts remain elusive—scramble to determine what's going on, they start dying one by one, in spectacularly gruesome fashion. Murray and Wearmouth have plenty of impish fun with their well-worn premise, delivering a slick slasher that's easy to wolf down in a single sitting. It may lack staying power, but it will satisfy readers who like their holiday fare bitter.
