Synopsis

Are you a fan of Stephen King and Dean Koontz? If you're looking for something fresh and new, join the millions of readers who have already taken the journey to the World's Scariest Places.

An isolated region is plagued with rumors of dark and deadly forces—the locals call it Helltown.

Since the 1980s there have been numerous reports of occult activity and other possibly supernatural phenomena within certain villages and townships of Summit County, Ohio—an area collectively known as Helltown.

When a group of out-out-town friends investigating the legends are driven off the road by a mysterious hearse, their night of cheap thrills turns to chills as they begin to die one by one.

In this deadly game of cat and mouse, survival is the only option. To escape the killers' relentless pursuit, the victims must outwit and outlast them—before it's too late.
