Synopsis

How Far Would You Go to Find a Lost Loved One?Ten years ago, a man and his girlfriend went into the woods at the end of Claver Road on what was supposed to be a weekend's camping trip, and never returned. Police combed the area, but nothing was found except for his car, abandoned where they'd parked it. It seemed like Brad Ellicott and Cara Marshall had been swallowed by the silent, brooding forest, leaving not a trace of what had happened or where they went.His identical twin brother, left to mourn his loss, has spent the last decade unable to let go of his grief, to accept that Brad and Cara are gone forever. Based on sinister hints from a few of the older residents of Guildford, New York, the closest village to the woods, he discovers that there might be more to the story than the disappearance of a couple of hikers. The woods has had an evil reputation for well over a century, and his brother and his girlfriend are not the first people to defy the warnings and brave the shadows under the trees-nor the first to vanish there.Becoming obsessed with discovering what happened to his brother, he delves deeper and deeper into the mystery that lies beyond the end of Claver Road, and he uncovers a terrifying truth that challenges everything he believes. Is the knowledge worth the cost? And will he get the answers he needs before the forest claims him as its next victim?

Wow! I read this book in one sitting. I had to find the answers to Brad and Cara's disappearance. But then when I did, I reeled with the shock of the truth. This story has all the things to keep a reader engaged. A missing twin brother, a haunted forest, rumors galore, and people turning up dead who......more

Goodreads review by Parris on May 30, 2021

Oh my gosh, I read Descent into Ulthoa almost straight through ~ and it is has to equate to a psychedelic trip into horror. The narrator, never described but as palpable as goose bumps, yanks the reader into his quest to find his twin brother, along with a girlfriend, gone missing for a decade in an......more

Goodreads review by Cly on June 10, 2021

Like so many fairy tales, this story has its home in the dark, deep forest, a forest which irresistibly invites the hero-narrator (and us) in, but once in, he is soon very lost. And like in Dante’s Inferno, initially, the wandering–from-the-path seems not so far from civilization, so it is easy for......more

Goodreads review by Gil on May 19, 2021

As a young reader—and possibly up into my thirties—I loved horror novels. That encounter with the dark unknown and the characters’ reactions to it fascinated me. I cut my teeth on the horror of the late seventies and early eighties when the standard formula seemed to be that of the little town in the......more
