Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. Historical Fiction. HTML:A century-old mysteryâ??and a desperate battle to surviveâ??unfold in this standalone thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion.
 
On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman, and child in a remote mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins, and not a single bone found.
 
Now, journalist Abigail Foster and her historian father have set out to explore the long-abandoned town and learn what happened. With them are two backcountry guidesâ??along with a psychic and a paranormal photographer who are there to investigate rumors that the town is haunted.
 
But Abigail and her companions are about to learn that the townâ??s ghosts are the least of their worries. Twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they realize they are not alone. 
 
The ordeal that follows will test this small team past the breaking point as they battle the elements and human foes alikeâ??and discover that the townâ??s secrets still have the power to kill. 
Part journey into old-West history, part nail-biting survival thriller, Abandon is a bloody, darkly surprising tale as only Blake Crouch could deli

Dear God that was aweful. Badly written, pedestrian plot, characters that exist only to die horribly. I only just found the willpower to finish it. A real shame as I've enjoyed some of his other books. ( )

I know it is not fair to this book but I was extremely disappointed in it. I gave it a 3 stars because it was well written. To be fair my disappointment was all in expectations. I was expecting something else and basically got an average thriller. I should have done a little research before buying. Didn't realize it was one of his older books and definitely didn't realize what it was actually about. ( )

This book was a raw, brutal, visceral experience in the best way. I was utterly captivated by Crouch's ability to paint such a vivid picture of life in an 1800s mining town. Reading about Abandon of old made me infinitely grateful to live in today's modern era with all its amenities: central heating, running water, women's rights.

Crouch has an uncanny skill when it comes to painting pictures with words--especially the gruesome, gory, and bone-chilling. I loved the short chapters and the fast pace and ended up staying awake way past my regular bedtime on a few occasions because I was desperate to find out what happened next.

The story continues to haunt me, long after I've turned the last page. ( )

.25 stars for the blurb on the back of the book. The book itself gets a zero.

I only read this because I needed something to read at work.

My biggest issue: the writing. It was barely mediocre. And because it was that bad everything else tanked. Not that the characters were interesting. Everyone existed just to be killed. I swear. Meet a character, a few pages later they die. And if you're going to kill nearly everyone, just go on and kill everyone.

This book could also have been half the length it was. And the switching back and forth was so pointless. Leave us in the dark for some things. It makes for a better read. And there was just too much going on that was unnecessary and had no purpose. And for being extremely detailed for most of the book the ending was sure rushed. I mean, really. On trial for murder and then found not guilty? It was too pat.

I suppose this was supposed to be horror but it felt like a sixth grade attempt that failed pathetically. ( )

Read this in one night, absolutely could not put it down.
I agree with some that it is not realistic and there are a few holes in the story; however when I read it is for pleasure and I can overlook small inconsistencies. If I want realism i read non fiction. Great read! ( )
