Lost Man's Lane
Lost Man's Lane: A Novel | Scott Carson
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
A teenager explores the darkness hidden within his hometown in this spellbinding supernatural thriller from bestselling author Scott Carson. For a sixteen-year-old, a summer internship working for a private investigator seems like a dream come true—particularly since the PI is investigating the most shocking crime to hit Bloomington, Indiana, in decades. A local woman has vanished, and the last time anyone saw her, she was in the backseat of a police car driven by a man impersonating an officer. Marshall Miller’s internship puts him at the center of the action, a position he relishes until a terrifying moment that turns public praise for his sharp observations and uncanny memory into accusations of lying and imperiling the case. His detective mentor withdraws, friends and family worry and whisper, and Marshall alone understands that the darkness visiting his town this summer goes far beyond a single crime. Now his task is to explain it—and himself. Lost Man's Lane is a coming-of-age tale of terror that proves why its author has been hailed as “a master” by Stephen King and one who consistently offers “eerie, gripping storytelling” by Dean Koontz.

A perfect day for book mail delivery! I purchased a signed copy of Scott Carson‘s Lost Man‘s Lane from The Poisoned Pen, an independent bookseller, in Scottsdale, Arizona. I would love to have attended the author event but I‘m grateful to have such a beautiful signed first edition.

For those of you who don‘t know, Scott Carson is a pen name for Michael Koryta.

This is exactly my kind of spooky story! Carson deftly grounds this supernatural story in the reality of Bloomington, IN in 1999. Marshall Miller gets his driver‘s license and from there, the next twelve months take a dark strange turn in his life and in the world‘s. It opens a bit slowly, but I appreciated the extra depth this gives the characters and the richer setting. I absolutely loved it! If you‘re scared of snakes, you may want to skip it!
