Chronicle During Books Endurance (Afraid #3)
WELCOME TO THE RUSHMORE INNThe bed and breakfast was hidden in the hills of West Virginia. Wary guests wondered how it could stay in business at such a creepy, remote location. Especially with its bizarre, presidential decor and eccentric proprietor.
ONCE YOU CHECK IN...
When the event hotel for the national Iron Woman triathlon accidentally overbooked, competitor Maria was forced to stay at the Rushmore. But after checking into her room, she quickly realized she wasn't alone. First her suitcase wasn't where she put it. Then her cell phone was moved. Finally, she heard an odd creaking under the bed. Confusion quickly turned to fear, and fear to hysteria when she discovered the front door was barred and the windows were bricked over. There was no way out.
...YOU'LL BE DYING TO LEAVE
One year later, four new female athletes have become guests of the Inn. Will they escape the horrors within its walls? Or will they join the many others who have died there, in ways too terrible to imagine?
ENDURANCE by Jack Kilborn
Are you brave enough to finish?
A Word of Warning:
Originally scheduled to be released in paperback in 2010, the publisher read the final version of the manuscript and refused to release it.
This is a disturbing, terrifying book. You may think you're brave enough to handle it. But you're probably not...

I like Jack Kilborn (Konrath), there's no two ways about it.While Endurance did not reach the level of sickness that TRAPPED did - let's be honest, few stories can - it was still an adrenaline rush with some pretty rough and horrifying scenes.The premise is a terrifying one: To stay in a strange place with some insane people who have very, very bad plans for you. Add to that someone who has no legs and you make for some interesting ways of trying to fight for your life.There are more than oneThe usual suspect is a Nasty piece of sheriff, who used to be a bootlegger to boot before he came to the town. Once you check into The Rusmore Inn Hotel you would notice the proprietor Eleanor Roosevelt has an obsession with American presidents. That Eleanor Roosevelt has some issues. Hell she has a whole subscription.This story includes a house of horrors, a Charnel House of ill repute and torture, and a motley bunch of human crudeness and evil freaks.The Rushmore Inn a homage to dead
Tense and brutalThis book grabbed me from the start and never really let me go. The author did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and making them likable before placing them in extremely hazardous situations.Yes, we have read the degenerate hillbilly story before. This author, however, takes a common theme and spins an intensely uncommon story around it. The story alternates between various groups of characters, each as round and likable as the other. He skillfully weaves a
I never knew horror could be so funny.This book was completely AWESOME the one liners had my laughing out loud all the way through, loved the characters, the plot and the outcomegruesome and hilarious.
I promise I'm not working for J.A. Konrath or Jack Kilborn, (who, by the way, are the same person) but he is my new best friend. Endurance is sick and gory and a lot of fun! It begins with an athlete who was offered a free stay at a remote bed and breakfast while she participated in a triathlon. However, once she got there, she was attacked by a bunch of deformed, insane, self-proclaimed descendants of royal and presidential blood lines; psychopaths who wanted her rare blood type for
Endurance is branded as a novel of terror, hyped as being so intense that readers might not be able to finish it. I finally broke down and got the book. By the time I finished, I was laughing.Make no mistake for the average reader, Endurance scores high on the gratuitous gore chart and may be too uncomfortable for some. But in my opinion, Endurance suffers from two fatal flaws: 1) painfully awkward development of unbelievable characters and 2) a plot that is far too busy with said outlandish
