From Bram Stoker Award finalist KC Jones comes White Line Fever, a harrowing thrill ride about friendship, trauma, and learning how to take the wheel of your own life.
THEY'LL BREAK MORE THAN SPEED LIMITS ON THIS GIRLS' TRIP FROM HELL.
At a passing glance, County Road 951 is an entirely unremarkable stretch of blacktop, a two-lane scar across the Cascade foothills of Central Oregon.
But the road is known by another name, coined by locals who’ve had to clean up after all those scenic detours went horribly wrong: The Devil’s Driveway.
When Livia and her long-time friends take the Driveway as a shortcut to a much-needed weekend getaway, what begins as a morning joyride quickly becomes anything but. Soon, they’re driving for their lives, pursued by a horror beyond anything they ever imagined.
The Devil’s Driveway might be only 15 miles long, but with danger at every turn, it will take the four women to the very limits of their friendships and their sanity.
And there’s no telling what else lies in wait just beyond the bend.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.
Praise
“White Line Fever is one pulse-pounding, cinematic hell ride. While 1408, The Descent, and Death Proof are cackling in the backseat, KC Jones is behind the wheel, foot on the gas, with new, terrifying destinations in mind. Climb on in. You won’t regret it.”
―Nat Cassidy, author of Mary and When the Wolf Comes Home
“A terrifying, nerve-shattering, white-knuckled road trip through hell. Jones takes the haunted house trope and stretches it like black tar across a landscape littered with inner demons, ghosts of the past, and the detritus of personal trauma―a rare blend of visceral horror and psychological suspense that will keep readers’ feet firmly on the gas pedal.”
―Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley
“In his latest scarefest, KC Jones mixes friendship, trauma, and the American road trip like a juvenile delinquent stirring sugar into a gas tank. White Line Fever is a searing page-turner that will make you consider avoiding cars for life. This is all-wheel-drive horror at its most fun!”
―Wendy N. Wagner, author of Girl in the Creek and The Deer Kings
“White Line Fever perfectly captures that chilling, hypnotizing type of terror you can’t help but feel when you’re behind the wheel and lose all sense of time – and yourself. Road trip horror has a new jewel in its gnarly, chrome crown.”
―Liz Kerin, author of Night’s Edge
"I LOVED this book. Perfectly crafted with characters that come alive on the page. Reminiscent of vintage King, White Line Fever is one of the best horror novels I've read in years."
―S.A. Barnes, author of Ghost Station
"White Line Fever is the only novel I ever got a speed ticket for reading so fast. Once you hit KC Jones' haunted highway, you're not going to want to stop until you reach the shocking end. It reads like a joyride with the devil himself."
―Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
“Jones’s gift for crafting realistic characters and the slow buildup of eerie atmospherics makes suspending disbelief easy. Richard Chizmar fans will be pleased.”
―Publishers Weekly
“White Line Fever will appeal to readers who like thrillers and survival horror in which nothing is as it seems, with unexplained phenomena mixed with characters who call into question who the true villain is.”
―Booklist
