For nearly a century, drivers have vanished along the isolated stretch of highway known as Brackenridge Road. Families disappear without trace. Empty vehicles are discovered with engines still running. Survivors speak of pale figures watching from the forest and headlights moving deep among trees where no roads exist.
State trooper Daniel Rourke never believed the stories.
Until the night he answers a call near Mile Marker Sixty-Six.
What begins as a search for a stranded family quickly becomes a descent into a nightmare hidden beneath the road itself. Beneath the forests and forgotten mining tunnels of Brackenridge lies something ancient, something that has fed for generations on the lost, the desperate, and the dead. The road was never cursed. It was built as a prison.
As the earth begins to split open and the missing dead return from the darkness below, Daniel finds himself trapped between a collapsing world above and an unimaginable horror rising from beneath the ground. To stop it, he must uncover the terrible truth behind the vanished town of Brackenridge, the mine disaster that should never have happened, and the ancient thing waiting in the Black Chamber below.
A bleak and atmospheric horror novel filled with abandoned highways, drowned ghosts, underground nightmares, and cosmic terror, THE DEAD ROAD TO BRACKENRIDGE blends folk horror, supernatural suspense, and apocalyptic dread into a chilling descent beneath America's forgotten roads.
