A Scare at Bedtime

THE HITCH HIKER

A Scare at Bedtime

Marcus Hartwell has everything, wealth, looks, a silver Porsche 911 for his twenty-third birthday, and the absolute certainty that the world exists for his pleasure. He's never faced consequences, never considered the damage he leaves in his wake, never met a problem his father's money couldn't solve.

Until he picks up the wrong hitchhiker.

Elena is beautiful, mysterious, and waiting by the roadside on the isolated stretch known as Route 47. When Marcus stops to offer her a ride, he thinks he knows how this story ends. He's wrong.

One kiss. One moment. And Marcus finds himself trapped in Elena's body, watching his own face smile cruelly back at him as the Porsche speeds away into the darkness. He's become a ghost or something worse bound to the same cursed road where Elena died in 1957, murdered by a young man just like Marcus.

Now Marcus must make an impossible choice, steal another body and damn someone else to his fate, or resist the curse and fade into something less than death. As he uncovers the truth about Elena's decades-long reign of revenge, Marcus is forced to confront a more terrifying question than whether he'll survive.

Does he deserve to?

Haunted by the memories of his victims, both Elena's and his own Marcus discovers that breaking the curse requires the one thing he's never given in his entire privileged life, everything.

THE HITCH HIKER is a chilling tale of supernatural justice where the monster isn't what you pick up on the side of the road, it's what you see in the mirror. Perfect for fans of atmospheric horror with moral weight, this entry in the A Scare at Bedtime series will leave you questioning whether some debts can only be paid in souls.

Some roads remember. Some roads judge. And Route 47 never forgets.
