Summary:
"Christopher Golden's
Road
of
Bones
is a stunning supernatural thriller set in Siberia, where a film crew is covering an elusive ghost story about a highway built on top of the
bones
of prisoners of Stalin's gulag. Kolyma Highway, otherwise known as the
Road
of
Bones
, is a 1200 mile stretch of Siberian
road
where winter temperatures can drop as low as sixty degrees below zero. Under Stalin, at least eighty Soviet gulags were built along the route to supply the USSR with a readily available workforce, and over time hundreds of thousands of prisoners died in the midst of their labors. Their bodies were buried where they fell, plowed under the permafrost, underneath the
road
. Felix Teigland, or 'Teig,' is a documentary producer, and when he learns about the
Road
of
Bones
, he realizes he's stumbled upon untapped potential. Accompanied by his camera operator, Teig hires a local Yakut guide to take them to Oymyakon, the coldest settlement on Earth. Teig is fascinated by the culture along the
Road
of
Bones
, and encounters strange characters on the way to the Oymyakon, but when the team arrives, they find the village mysteriously abandoned apart from a mysterious nine-year-old girl. Then, chaos ensues. A malignant, animistic shaman and the forest spirits he commands pursues them as they flee the abandoned town and barrel across miles of deserted permafrost. As the chase continues along this
road
paved with the suffering of angry ghosts, what form will the echoes of their anguish take? Teig and the others will have to find the answers if they want to survive the
