Grinners (Paperback)

In the summer of 1979, Louis, Todd and Lake follow a non-maintained trail into a remote wilderness deep inside Kings Canyon National Park. In that achingly beautiful desolation, they encounter menace in the form of grinners, a group of malevolent squatters who terrorize intruders with their gleaming knives and demonic grins. Grinners is a wickedly delicious suspense tale and finely tuned example of 1970s Southern California noir. It is also G. Kent's homage to the dark and primal fears that often accompany wilderness backpacking. There's the lost trail up ahead. Light your campfire and let the horror begin.
