About this listen

Don't venture into the Appalachian woods after dark. Never leave the marked trail. And if you hear voices . . . Run.

1983: Three students from a small college embark on a week-long road trip to film a documentary on roadside memorials for their American Studies class. The project starts out as a fun adventure with long stretches of empty road and nightly campfires where they begin to open up with one another.

But as they venture deeper into the Appalachian backwoods, the atmosphere begins to darken. They notice more and more of the memorials feature a strange, unsettling symbol hinting at a sinister secret. Paranoia sets in when it appears they are being followed. Their vehicle is tampered with overnight and some of the locals appear to be anything but welcoming.

Before long, the students can't help but wonder if these roadside deaths were really random accidents...or is something terrifying at work here?©2024 Richard Chizmar (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Critic reviews

Memorials is a twisty, dark tale with an undeniable sense of place and a creepy atmosphere that pulls you in and never lets go. This story about friendship and youthful adventure quickly spirals into mayhem and paranoia, and the journey is an absolute blast. As heartfelt as it is chilling, this nostalgic, diverse, wildly entertaining novel proves, once again, that Richard Chizmar is one of the best (Gabino Iglesias, bestselling and award-winning author of The Devil Takes You Home)
Richard Chizmar is a gifted writer. His books work on a primal level and I look forward to reading whatever he writes (Don Winslow)
Richard Chizmar's Memorials is, on the one hand, a showcase for his ability to create warm, insightful characterizations and, on the other, a funhouse ride that grows more and more sinister. It's an all-around terrific piece of storytelling by an author who really knows how to entertain (Owen King)
Memorials is such a unique idea and so wonderfully, insidiously creepy. Brilliant storytelling and fantastic small-town horror infused with real heart. I'll never look at a roadside tribute in the same way again! (C.J. Tudor)
You'll never view a country roadside in the same way once you've finished Memorials. Chizmar knows where both stories of terror and stories of the heart lurk - and best of all, he understands that they're found in the same places. Buckle up for a haunting ride (Michael Koryta)
