Five "Frightening Folklore" Stars
Horrifying Nightmare!
A taste of what lies within:
Setting 1898 - Alaska
Jake and Willie (friends) decide to head into the Klondike to seek their fortune in gold. On their way there they both end up with some other people that tag along with them on the journey.
They all come across some different things that happen to them along the way including unsavory men (Charlie and Cullen) that are out to cause trouble.
There is another type of trouble brewing though as there are rumors that men have disappeared or been killed in the Klondike so everyone has itchy trigger fingers. As time goes on the group finds out that there is something out in the wilds that is stalking them (a folklore legend) and it can invade their minds, but what is worse they cannot see or hear it until it is too late! How are they able to fight such a creature?
No spoilers here as you will need to read the book!
Thoughts:
This book had quite a bit of slow suspense in the beginning of the story with lots of information of the Alaskan/Klondike territory and the gold rush days. The story is wrapped around a creature that is folklore for that time era and it really made for interesting reading.
As always with this author the book became fast paced as the more that happened to the small group the more I couldn't put the book down! The folklore creature becomes the focal point in the last half of the book which sent this book into overdrive! I literally read the last 60% within 12 hours and I could not sleep most of the night as I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next!
There is quite a bit of blood and gore in this story so it was a good thing I had my gore suit ready as it was definitely needed for this book. The graphic descriptions by the author of what happens to some of the unfortunate victims along the way were cringe-worthy as I could see the visual images in my minds eye!
Highly Recommend!
