Overview
Joe Hill has been hailed as "a major player in
21st-century fantastic fiction" (Washington Post); "a new master in
the field of suspense" (James Rollins); "one of the most confident
and assured new voices in horror and dark fantasy to emerge in recent years
(Publishers Weekly); a writer who "builds character invitingly and plants
an otherworldly surprise around every corner" (New York Times). This
gifted and brilliantly imaginative author catapulted to bestsellerdom with the

bestselling author returns with a relentless supernatural thriller that runs
like Hell on wheels. . . . (Source
