I really liked this one. small town horror where we basically got a history that was 30 years ago where there was a serial killer in town.
Ghost road blues (2006)
From a new master of horror comes an apocalyptic showdown between the residents of a secluded, rural town and the deadly evil that confronts them wherever they turn . . . EVIL DOESN'T DIE The cozy little town of Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have gone by since the darkness descended and the Black Harvest began, a time when a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village. The evil that once coursed through Pine Deep has been replaced by cheerful tourists getting ready to enjoy the country's largest Halloween celebration in what is now called "The Spookiest Town in America." IT JUST GROWS STRONGER But then--a month before Halloween--it begins. Unspeakably desecrated bodies. Inexplicable insanity. And an ancient evil walking the streets, drawing in those who would fall to their own demons and seeking to shred the very soul of this rapidly fracturing community. Yes, the residents of Pine Deep have drawn together and faced a killer before. But this time, evil has many faces--and the lust and will to rule the earth. This struggle will be epic.
I think this book does a very similar job where again it's very character focused but certainly also has some action packed scenes so you really get a good balance of both. The whole time reading it I kept thinking how similar this was to Stephen King and knew I wanted to include it in this video here.
the first book in that trilogy is Ghost Road Blues so if you start there and you like that trilogy and there's a reason why he won the stoker award for first novel on that one it is a great read
