Off the Grid Kindle Edition

by John Watson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 33 ratings
Ryan and Diana Richie have a happy life in New York City, but their goal has always been to downsize and live off the grid in a tiny home.
Their plans arrive sooner than expected after a brutal attack on the subway that leaves Diana desperate to leave big city life behind. Selling off all they own, the couple invests in a tiny house and set off on a cross country road trip to their new home in Oregon.
Along the way, they stay in countless trailer parks, and highway rest stops, acclimating to life in their humble new abode.
When they reach their last stop before home, they stop in at a remote community, where they plan to live for a week.
The question now is whether they will make it out alive.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born under a gloomy, grey, Scottish sky, it is perhaps no real surprise that darkness has always felt comfortable to John Watson. After countless hours spent in his local library, he found that he was more at home in the worlds of Clive Barker, Stephen King, and James Herbert than he was in his own. The need to carve out his own niche in the horror genre drove Watson to slice open his mind and let the words spill onto the page.

From donuts to mysterious karaoke bars in the middle of nowhere, Watson mines the depths of the ordinary to find the evil that lurks beneath the surface. He dares you to join him in his ongoing forays into the dark side

Watson is the author of Karaoke Night, Crueller, and Off The Grid.

    This book is a new take on the normal horror story of people going out into the country. I love the take of myth, cult like community, tiny homes, and more.
    I love how the main characters seem more real then most books and go with there instincts. The ending really threw me for a loop and was a funny but great way to end the book.
    Overall a awesome story and I hope to find more great books from John Watson

    John Watson once again blessed us with his writing skills. A couple headed to live out their dream in their tiny home get side tracked and the community is definitely up to something. When the creatures don't get what is promised, things turn bad real fast. An excellent edge of your seat read!

    If you like to be scared and like hybrid creatures that kill then this is the book for you.

    The only problem with this book is that it wasn't longer. The little twist at the end was a great touch and the storyline was well rounded.

    Another great book.

    The prologue of this book was unique and intriguing. I was very eager to see how it would fit into the greater story about Ryan and Diana.
    There were so many signs and warnings they should have heeded. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how things would play out.
    I loved the work-up to the conclusion. And that ending!
    Just wow! Well done!

    Diana and Ryan had plans to move to Oregon but after being attacked by 2 drunks, their dreams quickly became reality. They left NYC and stayed in an odd little community before driving to their home. With strange sounds and events taking place on their first night, Diana and Ryan were very uncomfortable and wanted to leave. That was easier said than done!
    A dark and disturbing story, well written with a great twist at the end which was unexpected. Enjoyable.
