Synopsis
Scott Smith, author of A SIMPLE PLAN, returns with a stylish and atmospheric horror thriller. Four American tourists in Mexico join up with a German tourist and go looking for the German's missing brother. Soon, the eerie and unsettling elements begin, and the reader's unease crescendos to a palpable terror. Though the setup is completely familiar, Smith writes with such a deft touch that THE RUINS stands head-and-shoulders above most genre writing.

Industry Reviews
"At its heart, THE RUINS is an old-fashioned horror story....Smith has tapped into our anxieties about global warming, lethal weather, supergerms--our collective fear that nature is finally battling back--and given us a decidedly organic nightmare." --rating: A-
(07/21/2006)
"[T]he most disturbing novel of the year....Smith...writes with psychological acuity and real beauty, yet he doesn't pull punches."
