Product Description
Where the Road Buries Us is a supernatural horror novel about grief, memory, murder, and a road that refuses to let the dead stay hidden.Evan Kross wakes in the desert with sand in his mouth, blood on his clothes, no phone, no wallet, no memory of how he got there, and only one thing tying him to the life he lost: a child’s drawing marked HOME. Somewhere beyond the heat and silence is his daughter, Alissa. Somewhere behind him is a black truck with dark windows. And beneath the cracked asphalt of Route 117, voices whisper from under the road.His wife Rachel has spent six months living inside the wreckage of his disappearance. No body. No answers. No reason why Evan vanished near an old bypass he was never supposed to inspect. But when Alissa begins waking from nightmares with names she should not know, drawings of places she has never seen, and messages that seem to come from her missing father, Rachel is forced to face an impossible truth: Evan may not be gone the way everyone thinks.The road has memory. It remembers the lost gas station that burned before Alissa was born. It remembers the children trapped in a school bus. It remembers the choir beneath the bridge, the house with no address, the rest stop girl, the graves hidden under blacktop, and every person buried by a man who learned how to make roads swallow evidence.As Evan moves through a shifting nightmare of abandoned towns, impossible buildings, dead voices, and places that should not exist, he begins uncovering the crimes of Gideon Voss — a killer whose work was poured into concrete, sealed beneath asphalt, and forgotten by the living. But the dead have not forgotten. They have been waiting beneath the road for someone awake enough to hear them.At home, Rachel and Detective Lena Ortiz follow the names Alissa brings back from her dreams, each one pointing to another victim, another buried truth, another piece of Evan’s final route. But every remembered name makes Alissa more visible to the thing hunting her father. Every answer pulls the family closer to the road. And every mile brings Evan nearer to the truth of what happened to him.Dark, emotional, and relentless, Where the Road Buries Us blends missing-person mystery, supernatural horror, and brutal human evil into a story about a father trying to reach his daughter from beyond the impossible. It is a novel of haunted highways, buried victims, family love, and the terrifying question of what remains when the dead remember everything — and the road finally decides to speak. Read more
