Description

They call Nevada's Highway Fifty both the "Loneliest Road in America" and the "Bermuda Triangle of the West."

After the death of his father, Josh sets out across the American West with his closest friends. What begins as an attempt to escape their grief turns into something far stranger after their car breaks down along Nevada's Highway 50 and one of them disappears into a night where the sun never fully sets.

As the search draws the group deeper into the desert, the road stops behaving normally. Distances change. Hours vanish. Familiar landmarks return. Every choice pushes them farther from the world they thought they knew—and from the people they once were.

Told through branching narrative paths that let readers shape the journey, interwoven short stories, and multimedia companion pieces, Highway Fifty is a literary horror novel with a choose-your-own-path experience exploring grief, identity, codependence, and the terrifying comfort of refusing to move on.

Perfect for fans of House of Leaves, Alan Wake, and The Twilight Zone.

A Note From the Publisher

**A note for readers:** *Highway Fifty* is an experimental literary horror novel that uses unconventional narrative techniques throughout, including unattributed dialogue, shifting perspectives, interwoven short stories, multimedia elements, and branching narrative paths. Readers who enjoy formally experimental fiction such as *House of Leaves* and *Haunted* will likely feel most at home here.

While *Highway Fifty* offers a choose-your-own-path experience, its branching structure is less traditional choose-your-own-adventure and more an extension of the novel's themes, with substantially different narratives and perspectives unfolding depending on the reader's choices.
