All they wanted was a vacation to
the Grand Canyon. Instead, they found themselves on a collision course with a terrible,
timeless darkness.
Welcome to Adrienne, home to
history’s worst serial killers and mass murderers. Nestled in an isolated
meadow high in the Sierra Nevada, Adrienne is sort of like a cosmic lint trap.
It collects the universe’s negative energy—all of our blackest human impulses—before
purging that darkness back into the world in a yearly lottery. From Hitler to
Bin Laden…Bundy to Gacy, Adrienne is the way station for dark energy that
doesn’t just pass on—it passes through.
When Phil Benson decides to take an
unmarked detour over the mountain, he drives his family into the mouth of
madness, where they are forced to join a captive labor pool with little hope
for freedom. Escape is pointless and time stretches out into eternity, with
every new day the same as the last.
Sometimes, it’s better just to skip
the shortcut.
With echoes of Shirley Jackson’s
“The Lottery,” Stephen King’s Needful
Things, and Blake Crouch’s Pines series, Cold on the Mountain treads the boundary between horror and
supernatural suspense.
