About this audiobook

Are you a fan of Stephen King and Dean Koontz? If you're looking for something fresh and new, join the millions of readers who have already delved into the heart-pounding World's Scariest Legends.

 

"Those who enjoy Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and other masters of supernatural suspense will relish The Dancing Plague's ability to move through time, relationships, and intrigue to question the roots of mass hysteria and paranormal experiences."—Midwest Book Review

 

What would you get if you smashed together Stephen King's coming-of-age tale The Body (aka Stand by Me) with Richard Laymon's The Traveling Vampire Show? Give The Dancing Plague a read to find out!

 

In the sixteenth century hundreds of residents of Strasbourg in Alsace (now France) danced uncontrollably for days on end, many dropping dead from their exertions.

 

Nearly four hundred years later “the dancing plague” has returned, this time afflicting the residents of an idyllic Cape Cod town.

 

For twelve-year-old Ben Graves and his two friends, the inexplicable dancing mania is only the beginning of the horror to come.

 

Publisher's note: While The Dancing Plague can be enjoyed as a standalone novel, it is intended as a two-part story. This is Book 1, set in 1988, and follows the lives of three 12-year-old children. Book 2 picks up in the present day, continuing the story from the perspectives of the same three individuals, now middle-aged adults.

 

The dance has begun … will you survive the rhythm of terror?
