The cult thriller novel is back in this all new edition which features the original text as it was meant to be published! Dubbed one of "The Most Intense Horror Novels" ever written by many horror review sites, The Summer I Died is the first book in the Roger Huntington saga and soon to be a major motion picture.

Please be warned: This book contains depictions of torture and graphic violence.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
When Roger Huntington comes home from college for the summer and is met by his best friend, Tooth, he knows they're going to have a good time. A summer full of beer, comic books, movies, laughs, and maybe even girls. 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 suddenly thrust into the middle of a nightmare. Forced to fight for their lives against a sadistic killer with an arsenal of razor sharp blades and a hungry dog by his side. 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?

"A down and dirty splatfest, 70s style!" - HorrorDrive-in.com

"This book is intense! It's everything you wish Hostel was!" - HorrorWatch.com

4.0 The Summer I Died
Torture Porn. An ugly term for a pretty ugly sub-genre. I’m not a huge fan, generally - probably because, for the most part, there’s almost zero emotional attachment to the characters involved.
