The Trail of Spiders

FAINT OF HEART by Jeff Strand reminds me of the movie The Vanishing (1993). In the story, it's a married woman who has to relive her husband's camping trip in hell, in order to find out what happened to him. This is the darkest Strand story I've read yet. Even though the author avoids overly graphic scenes of violence, there are a couple of scenes which are absolutely horrific.

In other words, this is a terrifying thriller I recommend to all horror readers. Fans of Strand should prepare themselves...there's no dark humor in this one.

As always,
