REVIEWS
"A razor-sharp supernatural chiller from a master of suspense. Stephen M. Irwin is a very talented writer and THE DEAD PATH is a terrific debut."
--Graham Joyce, author of Requiem and The Tooth Fairy
"THE DEAD PATH is a truly creepy thrill-ride. You may never want to go into the woods again."
--Jeff Lindsay, New York Times bestselling author of Dexter Is Delicious
A terrible accident has left Nicholas Close a widower and awoken in him the ability to see the dead. Now, he can’t escape visions of tortured spirits, their last moments caught in horrible, endlessly replaying loops. Nicholas leaves London and returns to Australia where he is disturbed to see that a heavily treed tract of land in his childhood suburb has somehow escaped development. These woods have haunted Nicholas since he was a boy and now he knows why: he sees the ghosts of terrified children being dragged from the path into the grinning maw of dark trees. When another local child goes missing, Nicholas himself becomes a suspect … yet he alone knows the girl has been taken into the woods. If he does not act against whatever resides among the shadowy trees, more innocents will be murdered. But the force he resolves to confront is old, cunning, and evil … and wants Nicholas for itself.
