Three Miles Past

📖 The Scoop

From the New York Times–bestselling author of the Indian Lake trilogy: Three stories that uncover what’s lurking just beyond your headlights . . .

Take a road trip into your darkest nightmares with three stories from the modern master of horror and “one of the best writers working today” (NPR). Here, Bram Stoker Award–winning author Stephen Graham Jones gives evil an all-too-familiar face, whether it’s the man from the dog shelter, a colleague at a work convention, or even just your phone. Horror can reach you everywhere and when you least expect it . . .

In “Interstate Love Affair,” a serial killer’s unique way of disposing of his victims’ bodies gives roadkill an even more gruesome meaning. “No Takebacks” tracks how an app goes from an idea to coding to letting loose its creator’s darkest impulses. And there’s nowhere to hide during “The Coming of Night,” when a predator’s latest kill sets off a creepy-crawly timebomb inside of him.

Buckle up for page-turning scares from “a genuine horror superstar” (Esquire).
