Description

Dazed and Confused meets 28 Days Later in this “wickedly entertaining,” ( Kirkus Reviews ) “volcano of a book” (Nathan Ballingrud, author of Wounds ) as a lonely young woman teams up with a group of fellow outcasts to survive the night in a town overcome by a science experiment gone wrong. A Best Book of the Month for Den of Geek , Omnivoracious , Mystery & Suspense , and Tor . A Goodreads ’ Readers Choice Nominee for Best Horror, and one of the Best Books of the Year for The Lineup , Booked , and Unsettling Reads . Turner Falls is a small tourist town nestled in the hills of central Oregon. When a terrifying outbreak rapidly develops, this idyllic town becomes the epicenter of an epidemic of violence. The Loop is a “wild and wonderfully scary novel” (Richard Chizmar, author of Gwendy’s Magic Feather ) that offers a “hilarious and horrifying” (Brian Keene, author of The Rising ) look at what one team of misfits can accomplish as they fight to live through the night. “[A] harrowing thrill ride of the first order and an uncompromising page-turner, easily securing its spot as one of the best novels of 2020.” — Rue Morgue (featured “Dante’s Pick” Review) “Like the best of Crichton or Bentley, it is a great beach read, but it is infused with the neon blood of a brave new writer... [A] kind of literary roller coaster. It will take you to thrilling highs and terrifying lows...” — Los Angeles Review of Books “ The Loop is the gore-soaked, anxiety-inducing, diabolically funny Richard Linklater/David Cronenberg mashup you never knew you wanted but can’t—or at least shouldn’t—live without.” — The Big Thrill “Unputdownable...Fans of The Twilight Zone , The X-Files , and Stranger Things will be especially thrilled.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A satisfyingly dark satire of, well, everything...[a] heart-pounding and deeply unsettling tale.” — Booklist “ The Loop is a remarkably propulsive novel, cinematic in the best way, with perfectly tuned tension and excellent character choices...a headlong, straightforward pleasure.” — Locus “ The Loop is the Cronenberg film we never got.” —Nathan Ballingrud, author of North American Lake Monsters and Wounds
