A Maine retreat turns into a survival horror setup

Set in September in the quiet beach town of Dead River, the novel brings a group of city visitors to a secluded cabin while a predatory family lurks in the surrounding woods. Their arrival draws the visitors and a local sheriff into a conflict framed around survival and the boundary between civilization and primal instinct. The off-season setting—an isolated coastal town after its busy season—places the story’s danger in a landscape of quiet roads and dark woods. The publisher notes that the book contains graphic content.

Book overview

September. A beautiful New York editor retreats to a lonely cabin on a hill in the quiet Maine beach town of Dead River--off season--awaiting her sister and friends. Nearby, a savage human family with a taste for flesh lurks in the darkening woods, watching, waiting for the moon to rise and night to fall...

And before too many hours pass, five civilized, sophisticated people and one tired old country sheriff will learn just how primitive we all are beneath the surface...and that there are no limits at all to the will to survive.

This novel contains graphic content and is recommended for regular readers of horror novels.
