“A creeping, pitch-black window into a suburban America like nothing you’ve ever read....You know something is deeply wrong with this neighborhood, and yet nothing will prepare you for the mind-melting final pages.” —Blake Crouch, international bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines Series

With its manicured lawns, pastel houses, and quiet, tree-lined streets, Willow Ridge seems to be the perfect place for Megan and Tyler Stokes to start a new chapter in their lives together. But soon after settling in, Megan begins to notice cracks in the neighborhood’s bright suburban facade—cracks that reveal a darker secret hidden just beneath the surface.

After an angry encounter with a neighbor takes a horrifying turn, Megan’s waking nightmare truly begins—growing ever more chilling and bizarre with each shocking twist. Suddenly forced to question everything around her, Megan finds herself trapped between the specter of madness and the shadow of something far worse. Her only hope is to expose the community’s pretty lies and discover the truth about what is really going on in Willow Ridge—a truth so devastating that her life will never be the same.

Review

An Amazon Best Book of the Month: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

“It’s no spoiler to say that this blend of horror and thriller sets its hook deeply and doesn’t let readers escape.” —Booklist

“Rector does both bizarre and creepy quite well; though domestic suspense might be new for him, he is quite skilled at the thriller game.” —Literary Hub

“The true skill of The Ridge lies in the tone Rector sets from the beginning, one of constant tension and growing unease....The Ridge is definitely worth a read.” —Washington Independent Review of Books

“Reader[s] will not know what is real and who can be trusted, as they navigate the dark corners of Willow Ridge with Rector surprising them at every turn.” —Out of the Gutter

“Willow Ridge is a weird place, with weirder characters, and an even weirder agenda. Do yourself a favor and read all about it.” —Night Owl Reviews, Top Pick

“Rector has brought forth a new type of chill that once again proves small towns are not the peaceful little worlds they claim to be.” —Suspense Magazine

“An extraordinary, original, and deftly crafted novel, The Ridge is an inherently fascinating and unfailingly entertaining read from beginning to end.” —Midwest Book Reviews

“The Ridge is a creeping, pitch-black window into a suburban America like nothing you’ve ever read. The suspense builds with every sentence and you know something is deeply wrong with this neighborhood, and yet nothing will prepare you for the mind-melting final pages.” —Blake Crouch, international bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines Series

“The Ridge starts as a suburban noir and ends in The Twilight Zone. Each new revelation pulls you deeper, turns the pages faster.

“John Rector writes a lean, mean mystery.” —Lincoln Journal Star

“Rector’s gorgeous, streamlined prose goes down like a fine single malt.” —Blake Crouch, international bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines Series

“Swift and savage and smart, Rector [writes]...superior pulp in the grand James M. Cain tradition.” —Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition
