Publisher's summary

When five college friends cross America in a minivan to find themselves, they chance upon a road that isn’t on any map. They can’t resist exploring it. The van breaks down. They find a town, a massive trailer park steeped in squalor. The town isn’t on any map either. They find people in town. They’ll wish they hadn’t. The only sanctuary is the Big House - a giant mansion at the center of town that appears to be abandoned, only all the lights come on at night. Inside the Big House is the secret of the town. Inside, they’ll finally find themselves. They won’t like what they find.

short but good

It was so short, but it was pretty good. If you have an hour to spare this is a good filler.

Soooo Good!

I loved this book. Very intense, but all becomes clear by the end. Stick with it. One of the best I’ve listened to since becoming a member in 2014.

Creepy

Very weird and dark. Makes you feel worried about the future if it is mirroring the future.

Uh what was this?

Having just finished Episode 13, I saw this on audible and decided to give it a read.

Man, I have no idea what just happened here.

Perhaps it needed another hour to explain this because I can't.

The narration was great, too bad the story wasn't.

End of the roadFor end of the road.

I have to write at least fifteen words so I will say this: too short!

A-hole of America!

After graduating from UCLA, Travis, April, Beth, Billy, and Ford went on a road trip. The minivan broke down. Walking up the road they came upon a small town. What they discovered was nothing they ever expected. Nice creepy short story.

Good Story

The book was a good story. If they would have made the storyline longer and more into the characters it would have been better. Good idea but needs to be expanded on.

meh

If I had paid for this I would be mad. However I got it for free and listen to it while putting a piece of furniture together so it was a decent short story for that.
