A summer outing turns into a fight to survive

Roger Huntington returns home from college expecting a summer of familiar pleasures with his best friend, Tooth. Their trip to Bobcat Mountain instead places them in the path of a sadistic killer, turning an ordinary reunion into a struggle for survival. The setup pairs friendship and thoughts about the future with a stark question about heroism: whether it is something people are born with or made to become. As the opening volume of the Roger Huntington saga, the book establishes a crime-thriller premise with explicit horror elements, including a blade-wielding attacker and a threatening dog.

Book overview

The cult thriller novel is back in this all new edition which features the original text as it was meant to be published! Dubbed one of "The Most Intense Horror Novels" ever written by many horror review sites, The Summer I Died is the first book in the Roger Huntington saga and soon to be a major motion picture.

When Roger Huntington comes home from college for the summer and is met by his best friend, Tooth, he knows they're going to have a good time. A summer full of beer, comic books, movies, laughs, and maybe even girls. The sun is high and the sky is clear as Roger and Tooth set out to shoot beer cans at Bobcat Mountain. Just two friends catching up on lost time, two friends thinking about their futures . . . two friends suddenly thrust into the middle of a nightmare. Forced to fight for their lives against a sadistic killer with an arsenal of razor sharp blades and a hungry dog by his side. If they are to survive, they must decide: are heroes born, or are they made? Or is something more powerful happening to them? And more importantly, how do you survive when all roads lead to death?

"A tense, bloody ride!" - Brian Keene, author of The Rising
