In a world where the lines between reality and the supernatural blur, a sinister force lurks, tapping into the darkest desires of those it encounters. Joe Hill crafts a chilling tale that revolves around Vic McQueen, a gifted young woman who discovers her ability to travel to a mysterious place known as the Shorter Way Bridge. This bridge serves as a portal to a realm of terrifying possibilities, drawing the attention of an ancient and malevolent entity.
This entity, known as Charlie Manx, possesses a ghastly penchant for kidnapping children, siphoning their essence to maintain his own twisted existence. As Vic's path intertwines with Manx's malevolent plans, a desperate cat-and-mouse game ensues, full of suspense and dread. Hill's masterful storytelling builds a palpable tension, expertly weaving together themes of childhood innocence and the horrors that often lurk beneath the surface.

The stakes rise with every turn of the page, gripping the reader's imagination as they navigate the eerie landscapes and morally ambiguous characters presented.
With richly developed characters that evoke compassion, fear, and intrigue, the narrative unfolds in a way that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Hill's vivid prose and intricate plots culminate in an unforgettable confrontation between good and evil, leaving readers wondering about the true nature of fear and the lengths to which one will go to protect the innocent.
