Publisher Description
Survival and cosmic horror collide in this new series, perfect for fans of LOST and House of Leaves.
For Dr. Siena Dupont and her ambitious team, the Alpenglow glacier expedition is a career-defining opportunity. But thirty miles into the desolate Deadswitch Wilderness, they discover a missing hiker dangling from a tree, and their satellite phone fails to call out.
Then the body vanishes without a trace.
The disappearance isn't the only chilling anomaly. Siena's map no longer aligns with the trail. The glacier they were supposed to study has inexplicably melted. Strange foliage overruns the mountainside, and a tunnel within a tree hollow lures Siena to a hidden cabin, and a stranger with a sinister message…
Holden Sharpe's IT job offers little distraction from his wasted potential until he stumbles upon a decommissioned hard drive and an old audio file. Trapped on a mountain, Dr. Siena Dupont recounts an expedition in chaos and the bloody death of a colleague.
Entranced by the mystery, Holden searches for answers to Siena's fate. But he is unprepared for the truth that will draw him to the outskirts of Deadswitch Wilderness—a place teeming with unfathomable nightmares and impossibilities.
"A new robust literary voice delivers an eerie, intense story." —Kirkus Reviews
Customer Reviews
Lost, and found
Why? Why?! Why did the author treat us this way? I wanted to give a three star review after the ending. It just stops. We don’t even get any kind of closure for any characters. It’s like part one is all. But I had to give at least 4 stars because I loved it so much. It’s so unique. I like horror but don’t read it much. Most is like far fetched things. A lot in this book probably are but it’s written where all of it makes you think there’s a possibility it could happen. If you’ve ever hiked and been afraid of something being out there, you may want to read this. A few things made me so upset. But I got over it. There were times I was like what use happened. Then thinking I had it straight, it changed again. I actually got so scared all throughout that I had to stop reading until the next day. Which wasn’t easy because it’s like a bad car crash you don’t want to watch but can’t stop. Imagine being in the woods and all the trails changing within hours. Nothing is like it was before. Things in your cabin even change. Some things appear and some disappear. People have went missing. Will you be next? Yet, back home, there’s others that come across your recordings you are making at this very moment! You haven’t even finished them but they are found before they even occur. Make sense? It will. I loved all of the characters. I can’t wait to read the next one!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher/author for this read!
