People are disappearing. Late-night drivers on the dark roads outside of Riverwood are vanishing leaving behind nothing but smouldering wrecks and eerie silence.
The authorities are stumped, chalking it all up to reckless street racers tearing through the quiet countryside, but the families of the missing are starting to suspect something far darker is at play. Whispers have spread about a ghostly figure – one that haunts the shadows of the trees lining the roads and who lurks in the forgotten, rusting graveyard of old cars way out of town.
Who is this ominous, mechanical spectre, whose shadow slips between the twisted wrecks? Is he the cause of the disappearances, or something much worse? No one knows, but one moonlit night, a group of Riverwood’s youngsters come face-to-face with the chilling secret that lurks in the shadows and realize they might never escape its grip. Available now in eBook, paperback and hardcover editions, you can pick up yours here.
