Follow The Reaper

An engaged Oregon couple venture further into the Dove Creek Park than ever before. They discover more than tall and magnificent sequoia trees, and realize they're being watched. They begin to doubt if they'll make it out of the forest alive, and if they will ever be married.

RUBBERNECKERS by S.O. Bailey is a story about a couple with, apparently, very little common sense. Walking a six mile trail near dusk, without phones or flashlights, didn't inspire a lot of sympathy from me. This is one of those times I wonder if the characters ever read a horror novel/movie because they may as well have had a flashing sign: KILL US.

The ending is completely shocking -- I expected something like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but I guessed wrong. The worst part is knowing this situation most likely exists in real life. People always make the scariest monsters.

As always,
