#HorrorNovel Review - The Long Red Trail by Jarred Martin #PromoteHorror

Lately, I’ve run into a ton of zombie stories and figured that’s what The Long Red Trail was going to end up being, but to my surprise and delight, it wasn’t. It follows the lives of the Reeves family, who have become sick, even the pregnant daughter. As I moved from page to page, I felt a connection to them and sympathized with their plight. Everyone in town has turned on them and it seems their minds and bodies have to. I was reminded of the story of Job as things progressed. The revelation of the cause of the turmoil in their lives was nicely done as I hadn’t expected it.

The Long Red Trail is a great read, and you should check it out. I give it 5 out of 5 Stars.
