Ghost Road Blues
Ghost Road Blues | Jonathan Maberry
17 posts | 25 read | 12 to read
Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel From a new master of horror comes an apocalyptic showdown between the residents of a secluded, rural town and the deadly evil that confronts them wherever they turn . . . Evil Doesn't Die The cozy little town of Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have gone by since the darkness descended and the Black Harvest began, a time when a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village. The evil that once coursed through Pine Deep has been replaced by cheerful tourists getting ready to enjoy the country's largest Halloween celebration in what is now called "The Spookiest Town in America." It Just Grows Stronger But then--a month before Halloween--it begins. Unspeakably desecrated bodies. Inexplicable insanity. And an ancient evil walking the streets, drawing in those who would fall to their own demons and seeking to shred the very soul of this rapidly fracturing community. Yes, the residents of Pine Deep have drawn together and faced a killer before. But this time, evil has many faces--and the lust and will to rule the earth. This struggle will be epic. "Serves up scares like pancakes at a church social."--Gregory Frost "Without a doubt this prolific author is the next Stephen King. Maberry deserves more then a Bram Stoker Award for this; he deserves Bram Stoker to rise from his grave and shake his hand." --Chad Wendell, New World Reviews "If I were asked to select only one new voice in horror fiction to read today, it would be Jonathan Maberry."--Katherine Ramsland "A fun, fun read and creepy as hell."--Gregory Frost "If you think small town horror has nothing new to offer, you have a surprise in store. Ghost Road Blues demonstrates that even the most haunted town in America is unprepared for the full depth of evil, either human or inhuman."--Don D'Ammassa "Reminiscent of Stephen King. . .Maberry supplies plenty of chills in this atmospheric novel. . .This is horror on a grand scale." �Publishers Weekly

I‘ve dragged myself to 29%. Looking at reviews, it doesn‘t seem to pick up. Seems like a love it or hate it book. I really don‘t want to read 71% more, but I also hate leaving books when I‘m more than a few pages into them.

Well I did it, I FINALLY finished this one. Ugh! 😒 You know how you listen to an audiobook and sometimes you notice things that maybe you wouldn't if you read it yourself? Like the overuse of certain words. There was just a combination of reasons this didn't work for me. A big one, the narrator. #Scarathlon2020 #TeamHarkness #thrilloweenreadathon #cocoturns50 #fallintoreadathon #readallweekcgb #ReadYourWay

Mehso-so

I decided to read this for #scarathlon2020 points because it was Halloween themed.
Very reminiscent of Stephen King, this book was disturbing, spooky, and LONG. I enjoyed this story, but didn't realize it was part of a series. The epilouge left things open ended and I needed more of a payoff than what I got. For someone who wants to get invested in a series and enjoys King, worth the read. For me, only a so-so.

aperfectmjk This just became available on my library holds. I plan to listen to it this week. 😁 4y
Selena85 @aperfectmjk Awesome! I listened to it and enjoyed the production, but had to hit the 2x speed a few times to keep it moving. 4y

It's October! Yay! I started this audiobook as I got ready for work. Already scary; I hope I can make it through without too many nightmares.

Thankfully I have a lot less horror on my TBR for #scarathlon2020 but wanted to get this one in since it's Halloween themed.

Go #TeamSlaughter !

The first in a trilogy, this is an excellent beginning to a rip-roaring monster/horror story! This is the tale of a small Pennsylvania town, Pine Deep, known for its elaborate Halloween celebrations. One year, things get a little too real. I have yet to read anything by Maberry that I haven‘t loved, and this is no exception. I can‘t wait to finish the series!

I‘m late on my #hometownswap post. I worked late but thankfully I had my box at work which had everything I love! When I began to open the strip of tape, my coffee radar could smell the lovely aroma from inside the box. I read the book jackets and forced myself to leave it at work tonight so I could sleep and be not be tempted to read into the hours. Thanks @CocoReads for making my first swap so much fun! Thanks @MicrobeMom @readinginthedark

CocoReads You‘re welcome! I hope you enjoy everything! 6y
MicrobeMom Looks great! 6y

My first book by this author and it won‘t be my last. This story provided everything that you want in a Horror story. It kept me wanting to listen to find out what was going to happen next. This this the first book in the Pine Deep Trilogy and when it ended I went on the hunt for book 2.

On the way home now, & trying to finish What Happened. Such a good book by our should-be Commander in Chief!

Read when the baby sleeps. It's just like "sleep when the baby sleeps", except when the baby wakes up from actually sleeping for a few hours, you curse yourself for staying up reading and not sleeping too, and you're suddenly very fucking exhausted.

Cleaned out my bookshelves and took almost 70 books to HPB. Immediately took that money next door to B&N and bought these......
And they couldn't be more different from each other!
