Not every death is a tragedy.
When fifteen-year-old Wyatt Bucks is found dead in the Sagasett River, the small town of Chambers breathes a collective sigh of relief. Wyatt was a troubled youth, feared and despised by many. But his death, deemed an accident by the local sheriff, leaves a chilling legacy that will haunt the town for decades.
Twenty years later, Mitch Ansel, now a middle school teacher, receives a call that resurrects the nightmares of his past. Alongside his old friends, the Fab Five, Mitch is forced to confront the dark secret they’ve buried for years—a secret that ties them to Wyatt’s death.
As the friends reunite at a remote cabin, they must navigate a web of deceit, fear, and violence. Each carries scars from the past, but none are prepared for the revelations that await them. Mitch’s terrifying visions of Wyatt and the relentless pull of their shared guilt threaten to unravel their lives and sanity.
Five people linked by a 20-year-old deadly secret reunite in an isolated cabin, only to realize the past doesn’t want to stay buried.
Author Jeff Gunhus serves up a horrifying story in Blood Lasts Forever featuring disturbing visions of the dead body linking the group.
The author uses a past/present approach to tell the story of Wyatt Bucks and the fateful events set into motion by the five friends. While each person has moved on with their lives, there’s still a sense of guilt.
For Mitch, the nightmares come in the form of ghostly images. Dan, Rick, Lauren, and Kelly-Ann all stand to lose if the truth comes out, regardless of public sentiment against Wyatt. Ultimately, though, the group will face supernatural forces threatening revenge.
Blood Lasts Forever takes the “friends united by a secret” trope and adds a supernatural flavor for a horrifying psychological thriller.
