A stunning supernatural thriller set in Siberia, where a film crew is covering an elusive ghost story about the Kolyma Highway, a road built on top of the bones of prisoners of Stalin's gulag.
Surrounded by barren trees in a snow-covered wilderness with a dim, dusky sky forever overhead, Siberia’s Kolyma Highway is 1200 miles of gravel packed permafrost within driving distance of the Arctic Circle. A narrow path where drivers face such challenging conditions as icy surfaces, limited visibility, and an average temperature of 60 degrees below zero, fatal car accidents are common.
But motorists are not the only victims of the highway. Known as the Road of Bones, it is a massive graveyard for the former Soviet Union’s gulag prisoners. Hundreds of thousands of people worked to death and left where their bodies fell, consumed by the frozen elements and plowed beneath the permafrost road.
Fascinated by the history, documentary producer Felix “Teig” Teigland is in Russia to drive the highway, envisioning a new series capturing Life and Death on the Road of Bones with a ride to the town of Akhust, “the coldest place on Earth,” collecting ghost stories and local legends along the way. Only, when Teig and his team reach their destination, they find an abandoned town, save one catatonic nine-year-old girl - and a pack of predatory wolves, faster and smarter than any wild animals should be.
Pursued by the otherworldly beasts, Teig’s companions confront even more uncanny and inexplicable phenomena along the Road of Bones, as if the ghosts of Stalin’s victims were haunting them. It is a harrowing journey that will push Teig beyond endurance and force him to confront the sins of his past.

The story was definitely original and pretty goddamn creepy at times. The pacing was a little frustrating,. especially in the high adrenaline action scenes. The author takes a little TOO long describing the events going on around them to the point where the character is essentially just standing there and watching all of the action unfold and isn't doing anything at all. It's a bit of a disconnect between the character and the story. There are also lots of repetitive themes to the point that it got really annoying. Characters spend pages thinking back on one moment or theme over and over and over again. Also, we get it, it's cold. The author really came up with 27 different ways to tell us it was cold and reminds you CONSTANTLY. Regarding the ending, I wish they hadn't dropped the main character from the ending completely, you get absolutely no closure on them whatsoever and instead we go into detail on a secondary character. Still important, but why not both?
Even with an average story, the performance made this a pretty good experience overall.
Good, Creepy, Repetitive

Narration 5/5
The <b>Road of Bones</b> is the Kolyma Highway in eastern Russia. It was built upon the bones of hundreds of thousands of criminals and political prisoners. They were literally worked to death and plowed under the road.
Yes, <i>that</i> Russia.
Read the blurb for more on the story.
Mysterious, very creepy, and weird.

Ostensibly hoping to tell the story of the people who live along the titular Road of Bones, Teig and Prentiss intend to follow the Kolyma Highway to its frigid terminus with the assistance of a local guide. Myth and superstition soon become more than passing curiosities, as the group's survival depends on understanding the strange and terrifying forces that stalk them through the dark Siberian night. With temperatures that would kill them in mere minutes, a treacherous road of unforgiving ice and snow, and inconceivable shadowy beasts hunting them, the odds are high that none of them will make it through this journey alive.
Road of Bones is a chilling title that creeps into the bones of the reader/listener as effectively as the cold Siberian night. Golden challenges the reader to further investigate the Kolyma Highway. He dares the reader to delve into the horrific history of its manufacture with the tantalizing glimpses provided through the proxy of Teig and the other characters. The true story only serves to reinforce the unsettling sense of wrongness already building in the back of the reader's mind.
Robert Fass provides spectacular narration that fully captures the accents and attitudes of the characters he brings to life within the narrative.
