Senseless. Brutal. Seemingly unconnected.
A cop walked into a nursing home and unloaded his weapons on elderly and staff alike.
A mass of school shootings.
Prison riots of unprecedented brutality.
Mind-boggling acts of … unprecedented brutality.
Mind-boggling acts of violence in every state.

They’re reading the names of those to be killed on the Emergency Broadcast System. You are listening over the battery-powered radio on your kitchen table, and they’ve just read yours.
Your name is Jack Colclough. You have a wife, a daughter, and a young son. You live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. People are coming to your house to kill you and your family. You don’t know why, but you don’t have time to think about that any more.

I stayed up all night to read this thrill ride of a novel. Fighting for survival in a world gone mad, an estranged couple are forced to rely on one another to save themselves and their son when a celestial even turns all their neighbors into killers

I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite Crouch book any …
Here’s a tidbit about me: I love AMC’s The Walking Dead. I have followed every season through all the horror, group dynamics, and even the boring episodes. I can watch zombies kill and be killed all day long…but when it comes to people violently killing people on the show? OMG my stomach turns. Ahem… Negan.
Blake Crouch’s Run has that same …
