An intense, backwoods splatterpunk horror novel for fans of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Cabin Fever. College senior Leigh Swanson knew her friends' vacation to Montreal would become a drug-and-booze-filled road trip. Yet despite her best judgment, she gave into her roommate's pleas and hopped aboard the Canada-bound van. It will soon prove to be the biggest mistake of her life. On the road, Leigh and her friends meet Sam Tucker, a mysterious hitchhiker who is willing to exchange directions for a ride. Sam takes the gang on a shortcut-a detour through a dark Vermont forest. A deadly detour. Among the many horrors that await Leigh and her friends is a fatal fungal disease, a grisly infection that has already claimed a number of victims. There is a cure-but Leigh is about to discover that sometimes, the only thing worse than sickness is: The Remedy.

In this gripping sequel, the story delves deeper into the dark and twisted world established in the first installment. Characters confront new horrors and face the consequences of their past actions, as the tension escalates in a chilling backwoods setting. Themes of survival, vengeance, and the human psyche are explored, offering readers a visceral experience filled with suspense and unexpected twists. The narrative promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats, as they navigate through a landscape of fear and brutality.
