Bram Stoker, quoting the ballad “Lenore,” said, “The dead travel fast.”
Those words have never rung more true . . .
Remember that car that roared past you near midnight on Route 66, doing 105 with its lights off? You wondered where it was going so quickly on that dark, dusty stretch of road, motor roaring, the driver glancing out the window as he blew by.
. . . that was the founder of the Suicide Motor Club.
They roam America, littering the highways with smashed cars and bled-out bodies, a gruesome reflection of the unsettled sixties. To anyone unlucky enough to meet them in the lonely hours of the night, they’re just a blurry memory.
That is – to all but one . . .
Two years ago, they left a witness in the mangled wreck of her family car, her husband dead, her son taken. She remembers their awful faces, despite their tricks and glamours. Now she’s coming for them – her thirst for vengeance even more powerful than their hunger for blood.
On the deserted highways of America, the hunters are about to become the hunted . . .

Reviews
Rich in detail, with a vivid setting, compelling characters, and several fantastically executed creepy scenarios, Between Two Fires is an absolute masterpiece
This beautifully grotesque accounting of an epic journey rivals those of The Odyssey and The Lord of the Rings
Simply an incredible novel
The Road meets Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in this frightful medieval epic . . . [Buehlman is] an author to watch
This is a novel that can be enjoyed by fans of historical fiction, horror, and fantasy. It's a dark, dank, depressing and dreadful experience, yet one so thoroughly riveting, visceral and, ultimately, hopeful. I can't recommend this enough!
An extraordinary horror novel: Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehleman. A disgraced knight, a girl who sees angels, and an alcoholic priest cross a France ravaged by the Black Death and overrun by quite literal devils. Breathlessly paced and fiercely cinematic, it's just a classic
A masterful tale about the redemption and hope that can be found even amongst true horror . . . Buehlman is a master of horror as well as fantasy
A beautiful nightmare that grips you from start to finish
A harrowing, haunting, heartfelt journey into darkness . . .
