From the author of the Wayward Pines Trilogy, comes this collection of
short stories.
*69
Tim and Laura West receive a bizarre voicemail on their answering
machine that seems to have unintentionally recorded a brutal murder. But
what happens when the killer realizes their mistake? This story develops
over one terrifying evening, and this young couple will never be the
same.
Remaking
Tragic events unfold in a snowy, sleepy Colorado town. From the first
scene, in which a man sits alone in the cold watching a father and son
in a diner, you know something is about to go horribly wrong.
On The Good, Red Road
A group of four hard men trying to reach a remote nineteenth century
mining town become stranded in an early blizzard and resort to drastic,
terrifying measures to stay alive.
Shining Rock
An older couple encounter a strange and menacing visitor during a
camping trip in the North Carolina mountains. Friendly at first, this
stranger seems to know them, and their secrets.
Perfect Little Town
Ron and Jessica Stahl are a power couple from California on a Christmas
holiday in Colorado. When they stop for the afternoon in sleepy Lone
Cone, they're charmed by the quaint tourist town. But the folksy
hospitality will vanish as the sun drops behind the mountains.
The Newton Boys' Last Photograph
At 25 words, the shortest story I ever wrote. But it packs a wallop.
The Meteorologist
Peter, a disgraced meteorologist and chronic wanderer, has traveled the
country for years in his Winnebago, in search of the only thing that
gives his life meaning. He's just arrived in the middle of
nowhere--Hokie, Kansas--for the same purpose, but when he meets a
waitress named Melanie, another sufferer, he's faced not only with his
first real human contact in years, but perhaps someone who can save him.
Unconditional
A conversation between two people--devastating, tragic, and beautiful.
