"Tom Brandner provides horror fans with a wild ride into a hellish past - 5 stars."
-Harriet Klausner, Amazon's #1 Book reviewer
"Stephen King has a new rival for the title of Master of Horror. Fans of horror, put this one on the top of your list."
-ReviewYourBook.com
"Tom Brander has your requisite things that go bump in the basement, shadows that pass across your line of sight, the crawly things that come up out of the river and variety of other worldy beings . . . reminding me a lot of Dean Koontz's earlier novels. Sign me up to read this author's work any time."

" The Ride is a thrilling and imaginative horror story."
-Bookfinds.comU.S.
A horrific accident, a dead man, and an extraordinary red truck set the stage for this thrilling ride into the unknown world of the lost and wicked. After a terrible car accident, a dying man hands body shop owner Carl Lee a mysterious envelope containing a gold key. Carl takes it, unaware that both his life and the life of his seventy-four-year-old grandfather, Thaddeus James, will be forever changed.
Carl restores the man's red truck and gives it to his grandfather as a birth-day present. Thaddeus quickly discovers, however, that the truck is no ordinarily vehicle; it blurs the boundaries between life and death. More than that, Thaddeus and Carl now find themselves encountering sinister forces and otherworldly beings.
The Ride breaks the barriers of time and space and delves into the nether world of the damned. It is a love-inspired quest to save a life from the past, with the menacing, mysterious villain and a host of strange creatures stand-ing in the way. It's a chilling chase to reshape the past, and those who try must accept the dire consequences of daring to take the ride.

The Ride: A Novel
Chapter One
The red truck raced through the countryside, snaking its way along the winding roads of a small eastern North Carolina county named Lenoir. The driver kept glancing in the rearview mirror not able to shake the feeling that he was being followed. Although there was no one behind him, he could feel a presence closing in. With each turn the man began to have trouble keeping the truck on the road as he maneuvered the sharp curves, crossing the yellow line several times due to the excessive speed. Twice the tires slipped off the shoulder and slid precariously through the gravel nearly sending the truck into a disastrous spin. Each time the man eased the wheels back onto the asphalt without losing control and then continued on. Up ahead, a steep hill rose mightily before him.The man kept his foot on the gas and the truck bottomed out violently in the valley causing sparks to fly from the undercarriage. Inside the cab, the jolt caused the man to lose his grip on the wheel, and the truck jerked into the oncoming lane. Thankfully, there was no car in its path. The truck naturally slowed as it began to climb the hill, and the man was able to regain control.
He took a slow, deep, breath before continuing on.
For a brief moment, the man took time to appreciate the beautiful, Carolina, blue sky—something he had let slip by in the past. He read a sign on his right that had the words "Attic Treasures" painted in bright red. He smiled at the image of the old woman sitting on her porch in a rocking chair.
