"YOUR FAVORITE AUTHOR'S FAVORITE AUTHOR" – The New York Review
In the quiet town of Piedmont, Washington in 1979, Jonathan and his friends were simply trying to endure the final months of high school when one of their own vanished. Then... another. That's when the whispers began, stories of the town’s old legend resurfacing like something dredged up from the dark. But myths don’t take people. Do they?
Desperate for a reprieve, they retreat to a cabin in the woods—one last weekend, one last memory before life scatters them in different directions. But you can’t outrun what’s already caught up to you. And as the night unravels, they realize the danger isn’t behind them. It’s here. Waiting. Watching.
The woods outside Piedmont have been quiet since that winter. Quiet, and counting.
The Vanishing Eight is where Lincoln James's world begins.
Fans of We Were Liars, One of Us Is Lying, and Stranger Things will devour The Vanishing Eight.
