The Dark Road (Horror)
4 chapters   —   updated Nov 11, 2010 11:39am
Description: I'm going to be posting a chapter every day this week. I hope you'll come along for the ride and I would love to hear your thoughts! When a group of backpackers are thrown together on a bus from Bangkok to Siem Reap, Cambodia, they have no idea of the journey ahead of them. Shortly after crossing the Cambodian border, one of the group disappears off the side of the road, and they quickly discover they have more than the threat of land mines to worry about. One by one they start to lose both their minds and their lives, as what was supposed to be an adventure, turns into a terrifying fight for survival.

This book was just okay for me. I found a lot of it dragged and I really didn't like the ending. The parts where Emma was being abused were the best parts and the bits where I was willing her to get a backbone, but it took a very long time for that t...more
