The Getaway
Here is your warning – this book is most definitely horror. Horror of the Black Mirror flavor. The get in your mind type of thriller. In The Getaway things aren’t going so great in the world and Karloff County is an oasis from the difficult negative events. However, it’s only an oasis for certain people. Jay's a high school senior who lives and works in the theme park in Karloff County. Along with his friends and coworkers, they live pretty well serving the park's rich customers.
The story kicks off when someone goes missing and only Jay and his friends seem to care. It falls to them to figure out what is happening. As more rich move to Karloff to live in this oasis, more of the current occupants disappear. There is also a big change in the way the park employees are treated.
This book comes at you with multiple perspectives, but you’ll spend most of it with Jay. You’ll also get perspectives from his friends Zeke and Connie. I’ll give you another warning that this horror is not regarding things that go bump in the night but the worst humanity has to offer. Read this one.
