Amazing, grab-you-by-the-throat, pulse-pounding horror novel by the author of "A Simple Plan". One of those books that is disturbing enough to invade your thoughts for days after you finish it, and scary enough keep you up at night (I finished it at 3 a.m. and didn't sleep much after that). If you enjoy King, Koontz, Saul, and the like, you'll find "The Ruins" just as compelling a page-turner.
