Dive Bar at the End of the Road    by Kelley Armstrong Order:  USA  Can St. Martin's, 2026 (2026) Hardcover, e-Book     Reviewed by Hilary Williamson Though a long time fan of Kelley Armstrong, I have to admit that I'm not that keen on horror, so Dive Bar at the End of the Road is not my favorite of her works. Nevertheless, it is gripping! It all starts with night drives down a road in the forest, where a group of strangers are involved in a sequence of sinister car accidents. In turn, they stumble through a raging storm towards the titular run down dive bar, waiting for daylight and - of course - without cell service. First Ellie (whose accident was caused by swerving to avoid a woman). Then paramedic Henry, who hits her in his accident. They're followed by lovebirds Caleb and Noemi. All end up in the dive bar, run by a 'ridiculously good-looking' bartender, and with one additional customer on a barstool, who says nothing - at first. Elderly Edgar is badly injured in his crash and attacked by a huge dog. People disappear and reappear, facing what they fear most in the woods, as well as regrets over past actions. Obnoxious Raymond shows up in the bar, then Ravi, who should be dead. Will any survive this awful night? Ellie is sure the woman on the barstool has answers but will she share them? Seems they've all been living on borrowed time and now a demonic option is offered, and the real nightmare begins!
