“This is an amazing work of fiction. I absolutely loved it. At the heart you’ll find a blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there’s so much more. I immersed myself. Have never read anything like it.” —Stephen King

Hard to figure how so much awful horror could've started out with just them two horses and not a one yet named...

While folks still like to focus on the crimes that shocked the small city of Orvop, Utah, back in the fall of 1982, not to mention the trials that followed, far more remember the adventure that took place beyond municipal lines.

For sure no one expected the dead to rise, but they did. No one expected the mountain to fall either, but it did. No one expected an act of courage so great, and likewise so appalling, that it still staggers the heart and mind of anyone who knows anything about the Katanogos massif, to say nothing of Pillars Meadow.

As one Orvop high school teacher described that extraordinary feat just days before she died, Fer sure no one expected Kalin March to look Old Porch in the eye and tell him: You get what you deserve when you ride with cowards.

A Modern Classic!

Susan Dalian does a magnificent job in narrating one of the best books I have ever read. Her voice is what I hear when I think of Landry Gatestone and the amazing way this book is constructed. Danielewski has created a masterpiece of modern literature set in the guise of a coming of age ghost story about two young people trying to save a pair of horses from slaughter.

Having just finished the audiobook (and having read-along with the physical book), I still have quite a bit to process, think and re-think, about it. This novel will stay with me for many years to come and I am sure that I will revisit it again. There are many references to Greek mythology, and I understand there are many Easter eggs to MZD’s other stories, but the story itself feels like a Greek myth in its own right.

This is absolutely a new classic piece of literature that should be read, and heard, by everyone! Highly recommended!!

very unique book

loved how the whole thing reads like the origins of a myth or the building blocks of a religion. Well worth the read...

Everything about it

I loved god damn near everything about this book. Wish it could have kept going. I would read and listen to another 60+ hours of this same story.

I felt like I was on the journey with them.

I laughed, I cried, I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. The unique telling of this story and the complex characters will stay with me for a long time, The dramatic audiobook performance (and Tom’s whistle!) really brings the characters and scenes to life. Tom’s Crossing makes you think, makes you feel, and takes you on a ride that will be talked about for years to come.

well worth the Credit

Outstanding new plot. I couldn't put this one down. Though there is a great deal of wandering off the main plot . . even that is good. I especially like the summery near the end which draws you back in & sets you up for the conclusion. I'll be listening to this one again. Recommend with pleasure.
