The first in a trilogy, Ghost Road Blues by Jonathan Maberry concerns a small Pennsylvania town known for their haunted hayrides and all things Halloween. The entire book takes place during a long Halloween night, where 3 escaped convicts crash their car in the town, and all hell breaks out. A supernatural tale of good vs. evil, the book is just fine, but pales in comparison to books like Dan Simmons' Children of the Night or Stephen King's The Stand.

Tried and tried to like this, got 3/4 of the way through and just bailed. It felt a little like "The Stand" to me, so I kept with it, but, ultimately, it just didn't pan out. Felt like it just went on and on and on. Frankly, wish I'd abandoned it much sooner.
