THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK

Craig DiLouie

The Bram Stoker Award-nominated author Craig DiLouie brings a new twist to the cult horror story in a heart-pounding novel of psychological suspense.
David Young, Deacon Price, and Beth Harris live with a dark secret. They grew up in an overbearing religious community on the isolated mountain Red Peak - and they were a few of the only survivors of its horrific last days. Years later, the trauma of what they experienced never feels far behind. And when a fellow survivor commits suicide, they reunite to confront their past and share their stories.

As long-repressed memories surface, they begin to recall different images of that final night. Images that raise questions with no easy, or even believable, answers. Together, they will return to Red Peak. But discovering the terrifying truth might make escaping a second time almost impossible...

From acclaimed author Craig DiLouie comes a psychological thriller and work of supernatural horror perfect for fans of It and The Haunting of Hill House.

The Children of Red Peak is ice-in-your-heart, nerve-racking fantastic - Heaven's Gate by way of Stephen King's IT. Almost every page made my skin crawl.

The Children of Red Peak is both a subtle character study and a chilling tale of horror. It goes deep into the heart of people caught up in terrifying events. Highly recommended.

One of the most powerful voices in dark fiction does it again! Craig DiLouie's The Children of Red Peak delivers a suspenseful and unpredictable psychological exploration of family, belief, and horror as chilling as it is thought-provoking. One of the best books of the year!

Absolutely riveting... A tapestry of past and present come together in this chilling tale of family, faith, and redemption. Craig DiLouie has a new fan.

Gripping, thought-provoking, and suspenseful, Craig DiLouie's latest is a master study of darkness and light and the meaning of life.

With this chilling story of cult abuse, DiLouie proves his mastery of the slow slide from psychological drama into supernatural horror.

DiLouie really knows how to simultaneously shatter nerves and break hearts. THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK is a genuinely unsettling psychological horror novel, a story where faith and fear combine to destroy innocence and devastate lives. Intense, compulsive, thought-provoking, and highly recommended.

"A heart-wrenching, thought-provoking, terrifying tale about the meaning of life... A great choice for fans of Stephen Graham Jones' The Only Good Indians (2020), Paul Tremblay's Disappearance at Devil's Rock (2016), or Alma Katsu's The Hunger (2018).

A solid, supernatural thriller, with a suspenseful twist as to what really happened will keep the reader on the edge of the seat, right to the final word of the novel.

Readers will find The Children of Red Peak a fantastically creepy addition to their fall reads.
