Our next book in the club will be The Hike by Drew Margary. The Hike tells the story of Ben, a businessman who sets out for a hike in the woods behind his hotel before a dinner meeting with a client. Ben ends up in a world of bizarre fantasy and strange creatures playing out a very D&D-esque scenario. Or that is what the blurb hints at. Reviews are referring to the book as “Cormac McCarthy’s Alice in Wonderland” and “a more cynical version of The Phantom Tollbooth”. Sounds like a lot of fun.

The read begins on September 1st and the review and discussion hit the website on September 30th. Good reading!
