“Purgatory Road is a taut and twisted race into the human heart; an absorbing meditation on surviving the wilderness around us, as well as the wilderness within. Only after turning the final page was I able to catch my breath.”
—Josh James Riebock, bestselling author of Heroes and Monsters and My Generation
“Samuel Parker brings a unique voice to fiction that is, at once, engaging and unsettling. His ability to breathe life and realism into even the most minor characters is one of the many reasons that Purgatory Road is an exceptional read. This book is definitely worthy of a big-screen adaptation.”
—Booker T. Mattison, filmmaker, author, professor
