The Bram Stoker award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense that recalls Stephen King’s Misery, Ruth Ware’s In a Dark, Dark Wood, and Jack Ketchum’s cult hit The Girl Next Door. Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.

For graduate student Jeremy Freirs, citified, cynical, yet prone to daydreams, summer is the time to shed a few pounds and finally get some reading done for a course on Gothic literature. He's picked just the right place: the small, secluded village of Gilead, New Jersey, only 90 minutes from Manhattan but, with its antique customs and clannish traditions, seemingly centuries away. For farmers Sarr and Deborah Poroth, young members of Gilead's fundamentalist community, the summer threatens a conflict between their passionate natures and the stern dictates of their faith.

Felix Allsey is a travel writer with a keen eye for the paranormal, and he's carved out a unique, if only slightly lucrative, niche for himself in nonfiction; he writes travelogues of the country's most haunted places, after haunting them himself. When he convinces the owner of the infamous Rotterdam Mansion to let him stay on the premises for two weeks, he believes he's finally found the location that will bring him a best seller. Then things start going wrong: screams from upstairs, figures in the thresholds, and more than what should be in any basement.

Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

Wounds is a confounding, strange, and utterly entrancing collection of six stories, including one new novella from Shirley Jackson Award-winning author Nathan Ballingrud. From the eerie dread descending upon a New Orleans dive bartender after a cell phone is left behind in a rollicking bar fight in The Visible Filth to the search for the map of hell in “The Butcher’s Table”, Ballingrud’s beautifully crafted stories are riveting in their quietly terrifying depictions of the murky line between the known and the unknown.

Publisher's Summary
A blend of literary fiction, psychological suspense and supernatural horror from the author of A Head Full of Ghosts.
Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sanderson receives the devastating news that every mother fears: her 13-year-old son, Tommy, has vanished in the woods of a local park. Riddled with worry, pain and guilt, Elizabeth is wholly unprepared for the strange series of events that follow. As the search grows more desperate, and the implications of what happened become more haunting and sinister, no one is prepared for the shocking truth about that night.
Critic Reviews
"This tense, quick-moving story...is a satisfying piece of fiction that shifts genres underneath the reader." ( Booklist)
"Tremblay expertly ratchets up the suspense until the tension is almost at its breaking point." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Good read
Read this after head full of ghosts, which is still my favourite of the two. I think I remember reading some reviews saying the narrator was boring but I disagree, at the beginning it can seem so but her reading style suits the book well.
If anyone has ever watched mungo lake then this book is extremely similar, to the point I feel one most have inspired the other.

Exceptional narrative; remarkable narration.
Erin Bennett is an excellent narrator, bringing characters alive from the pages to your ear. I was really impressed how each character had its own qualities & voice which was easily discernible from one another.
Paul Tremblay certainly has his own special style of telling a story. Even just the way each conversation in the tale is written; it’s different & easier to follow along (for lack of a better description- if you’ve experienced this audiobook, you may know what I mean).
I listened to ‘Disappearance at Devil’s Rock’ over four days of periodic intervals. I found each character intriguing & so well formed by the author; their feelings, thoughts & actions were portrayed with a (sometimes dark) depth & fullness I really appreciated. It’s easy to get carried away in the tides of a narrative when the characters within are relatable &/or feel like real people rather than fiction.
This being my first Paul Tremblay experience, I am definitely keen to traverse more of his works. He has great perception & insight into the human psychological clockwork..
I gave 5 stars for my rating as: I found the story intriguing, the writing style unique, the narration perfectly performed (with subtle vocal conversions for each character). Additionally, I’ve been left with a strong need to discover more from Paul Tremblay...
I recommend this audiobook to any mature minded individuals who have a proclivity for drama, suspense & the strangeness of the human psyche.

Not my favourite - but not bad
The story had some unexpected twists in it. I found the narrator's way of reading made me dislike the characters a little in some parts. Good story once it got going but I did find it pretty slow at the beginning and nearly gave up on it more than once.
