Four Miles to the Fork: A Novel of the Bennington Triangle

By Maximus Cole

Fourteen months after Ellis Hoyt vanished on Vermont's Glastenbury Mountain, his brother Russ finds evidence that should be impossible: the missing may still be alive.

And they may not want to come back.

Russ is a water-well driller, a man who trusts measurements, rock, depth, and things that can be proved. But when a customer's well produces a reading that should not exist, he begins following the trail Ellis left behind.

Old disappearances. Wrong distances. Silence where there should be wind and birds. A mountain where the rules stop behaving.

The deeper Russ goes, the worse the answer becomes.

The lost may not have been taken.
They may have chosen to stay.

And once Russ understands what happened on Glastenbury Mountain, telling the story may become the next way in.

FOUR MILES TO THE FORK is a dark, atmospheric horror novel about disappearance, impossible geography, and the terrifying possibility that some places do not need to trap you.
