Crazy: A Prayer for the Dead
Based on his 2010 Truck Stop Hell short story, Steven LaChance delivers one of the scariest stories ever told with the frightening full-length version. Crazy, A Prayer for the Dead, surrounds a group of misfits who find themselves stuck in their own version of Hell within an old truck stop on Route 66. Years later, paranormal investigators are brought to the location and end up uncovering the truth and horror of the souls damned within. The book is based upon, and inspired by, an actual paranormal case led by Steven LaChance in 2006. Steven LaChance weaves the one night of horror and its aftermath using historical fact, police reports, urban legend, actual psychic impressions and findings from the real life paranormal investigation. When put together, these elements profile a story which will terrify and haunt you long after you put it down. This is one you don't want to read in the dark alone. Sound crazy? Well maybe it is not that crazy after all. What we do to others in this life does, and will, effect what happens to us in the afterlife. Hell is truly other people. And that is Crazy.

I have worked with this author in the past and he is an amazing person as well as an amazing writer. This book is worth the read. Is all about a few small towns in Missouri which I am familiar with and the stories he tells seem to hold true to what I have been told growing up as well. I cant wait for his new book to come out.

Good read!
I get bored easily in the first few pages if they do not pique my interest. This is an easy and interesting read. I finished in a few nights. Now I have to try to hurry and go to sleep but I’m creeped out. Good luck!
