Great book by an excellent writer.
The story itself is solid, very well paced and the violence/gore ramps up nicely. Once I started it I couldn't put it down.
Great book. Bleak, hardcore. Yes I agree it does give off Hills have eye vibes. Highly recommend.
Off Season was my first thought.
If gore and violence is your thing, Off Season is your nighttime audiobook listen. Read by the author, Jack Ketchum’s book is both graphic and well-written. It also contains the most dread-inducing scenes I’ve ever read, hands down, it stays with me all these years later.
