Overview Ratings & Reviews

So much screaming.

Roger Huntington is home from college for the summer, and he and his best friend, Tooth, can't wait to start having fun. It's going to be a summer full of beer, comic books, movies, laughs, parties and maybe even girls.

So much pain.

The sun is high and the sky is clear as Roger and Tooth set out to shoot beer cans at Bobcat Mountain. Just two friends catching up on lost time, two friends thinking about their futures, two friends--

So much blood.

--suddenly thrust in the middle of a nightmare. Forced to fight for their lives against a sadistic killer. A killer with an arsenal of razor-sharp blades and a hungry dog.

So much death.

If they are to survive, they must decide: are heroes born, or are they made? Or is something more powerful happening to them? And more importantly, how do you survive when all roads lead to . . . death!

Praise and Reviews

“A tense, bloody ride!” - Brian Keene

“A down and dirty drive-in splatfest, 70s style!” - HorrorDrive-In.com

“This book is everything you wish Hostel was!” - Horrorwatch.com

“Thomas may very well be the next big name in extreme horror.” - Hellnotes

“This book hooked me in hard. I blazed through it, loving every
minute of it.” - Creature Corner.com

“The Summer I Died is one wicked trip through man-made hell and I was
glad I hitched a ride.” - Insidious Reflections

“This novel takes us deep into the bowels of hell where Thomas doesn’t
hold any punches.” - SciFiHorrorBooks.com

“Keeps you in suspense and keeps the pages flying.” - Horror-Web.com

“Sharp and ingenious and a whole lot of fun. Ryan C. Thomas is not just
a writer to watch, but one that has already hit a stride that most others at their own game should envy.” - HorrorDrive-In.com

“I loved this book . . . it makes an Eli Roth film look like Sesame Street.” - OzHorrorScope.com

“A hell of a promising beginning from a hell of a writer.” - WretchedAndViolent.com

“My muscles were actually sore the day after I finished reading this book
because I was so tensed up.” - Multiverse Reviews

“The most brutal story I’ve experienced since Poppy Brite’s Exquisite
Corpse. When you think the author can’t wring any more raw energy out
of a situation, just turn the page and things spiral even deeper into
anguished pain.” - John Sunseri, editor/author

“I have never flinched so much while reading a book. An excellent, nasty
little book. I loved it!” - Desmond Reddick, Dread-Media.com (podcast 72)
