Route 666: Highway to Hell

Winner of the American Writing Award for Horror Fiction

“Every road has a destination. This one ends in Hell.”

Jack Aitken’s family has been taken—and the ransom isn’t money. Route 666 is cursed, and Jack’s only hope of saving them is to recover what was meant to stay buried.

But what he’s being forced to find is no mere relic. It’s the key to a ritual begun centuries ago, a ritual that still waits to be finished. And Jack may be the final piece it needs.

Each mile drags him deeper into a struggle between ancient evil and fragile faith. Failure means more than losing his wife and sons—it means surrendering his soul, and perhaps opening the gates of Hell itself.

Perfect for fans of occult horror who crave cursed roads, sinister bargains, and the knowledge that some choices can never be undone.
