In this terrifying novel from the bestselling "master of the psychological thriller" and author of Baby Teeth (Entertainment Weekly), three friends set off on a hike into the
Grand Canyon—only to discover it's not so easy to leave the world behind.
It was supposed to be the perfect week away . . .
Imogen and Beck, two sisters who couldn't be more different, have been friends with Tilda since high school. Once inseparable, over two decades the women have grown apart. But after Imogen survives
a traumatic attack, Beck suggests they all reunite to hike deep into the Grand Canyon’s backcountry. A week away, secluded in nature . . . surely it’s just what they need.
But as the terrain grows tougher, tensions from their shared past bubble up. And when supplies begin to disappear, it becomes clear secrets aren’t the only thing they’re being stalked by. As
friendship and survival collide with an unspeakable evil, Getaway becomes another riveting thriller from a growing master of suspense and a “literary horror writer on the rise”
(BookPage).

Editorial Reviews
“Strap into your pack and step into this inky darkness with Zoje Stage.” —Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author
“A chilling thriller that will definitely make you lose sleep at night.” —PopSugar
“You won’t blink until you read the last line.” —Publishers Weekly
“Brittney Pressley narrates with aplomb. She creates three very different characters, in particular bringing out the toughness of Beck and the vulnerability of Imogen, as well as creating a believable troubled villain in Gale. Pressley's characterizations are especially strong during the many scenes of dialogue. Her skill helps listeners differentiate the women as they battle to save their lives and their friendship.” —AudioFile

Zoje Stage’s Getaway is exactly the kind of heart-in-your-throat, how-are-they-going-to-get-out-of-it thriller that I love—a rip-roaring wilderness adventure story that tests the characters’ physical abilities and moral resolve to their limits.

An outstanding read. Suffice it to say that what follows is a stunning—at times sensitive, at times feral—exploration of just how deep and powerful the bonds of sisterhood and female friendship can be and how a squeaky mouse can become a roaring lion. . . . Recommend as women’s fiction as well as psychological suspense. —Booklist (starred review)

If art imitates life, horror fiction is a great mimic, predicting and exploring the frightening and surreal realities of the contemporary world.
