📝 Description: Night of the Prowler

Assist the customers. Stock the shelves. Sweep the floors. Take out the trash. Survive the night. Zoe Doyle, an eighteen-year-old girl saving up for college and her first car, is working the night shift by herself at a secluded gas station for the first time. Her hopes for a normal night quickly diminish as she meets the local creeps, but she perseveres. Then she hears a news bulletin on a radio: A suspected serial killer undergoing a psychiatric evaluation has escaped from a nearby mental institution. Alone and afraid, her imagination runs wild. Is he coming here? Did I already see him? Is he watching me now?-she thinks. Unbeknownst to her, she's correct. The hyperviolent serial killer known as the Prowler is heading her way... and he's killing everyone in his path. Jon Athan, the author of 2020's Do Not Disturb, brings you a shockingly suspenseful and violent slasher inspired by the classics. Can you survive the night of the prowler? WARNING: This novel contains graphic content. Reader discretion is advised.
