"Tom Brander has your requisite things that go bump in the basement, shadows that pass across your line of sight, the crawly things that come up out of the river and variety of other worldy beings . . . reminding me a lot of Dean Koontz's earlier novels.

""The Ride" is a thrilling and imaginative horror story."

A horrific accident, a dead man, and an extraordinary red truck set the stage for this thrilling ride into the unknown world of the lost and wicked. After a terrible car accident, a dying man hands body shop owner Carl Lee a mysterious envelope containing a gold key. Carl takes it, unaware that both his life and the life of his seventy-four-year-old grandfather, Thaddeus James, will be forever changed.

Carl restores the man's red truck and gives it to his grandfather as a birth-day present. Thaddeus quickly discovers, however, that the truck is no ordinarily vehicle; it blurs the boundaries between life and death. More than that, Thaddeus and Carl now find themselves encountering sinister forces and otherworldly beings.

"The Ride" breaks the barriers of time and space and delves into the nether world of the damned. It is a love-inspired quest to save a life from the past, with the menacing, mysterious villain and a host of strange creatures stand-ing in the way. It's a chilling chase to reshape the past, and those who try must accept the dire consequences of daring to take the ride.
