Summary from Goodreads:
Tom Harding only wants the truth. But the truth is becoming
more dangerous with every passing minute.
As a reporter for his high school newspaper, Tom Harding was
tracking the best story of his life when, suddenly, his life turned very, very
weird. He woke up one morning to find his house empty . . . his street empty .
. . his whole town empty . . . empty except for an eerie, creeping fog and
whatever creatures were slowly moving toward him through the fog.
Now Tom s once-ordinary world has become something out of a
horror movie. How did it happen? Is it real? Is he dreaming? Has there been a
zombie apocalypse? Has he died and gone to hell?
Tom is a good reporter he knows how to look for answers but
no one has ever covered a story like this before. With the fog closing in and
the hungry creatures of the fog surrounding him, he has only a few hours to
find out how he lost the world he knew. In this bizarre universe nothing is
what it seems and everything including Tom s life hangs in the balance.
My Review:
With the first few pages of this book I thought it was
predictable. It's not. When with the fog was getting so thick, I thought I have
been here, do this. I was very wrong. The creatures in the fog are terrifying.
This novel is very intriguing and the fear of the unknown compels you to keep
reading.
This book is very well written and has a chilling feel to
it. I had to keep reading, because I had to know what was happening to Tom, the
lead character. What would you think if you were to wake one morning to find
that everyone else was gone? They have just disappeared. Adding to the mystery is your dead brother’s
voice coming from the TV in the basement, the mysterious phone calls from you
missing mom, and the weird creatures in the fog.
I am willing to admit that I had an uneasy feeling, while
reading this in the dark, late at night with everyone else in the house asleep.
This is a haunting and insightful read. It kept me wondering what would happen
next. The author really made me care about The outcome and the lead character.
I really look forward to reading more by Andrew Klavan.
