The Passage is a story of truly epic proportions, a story that dares to span the entire globe over the course of one hundred years. While I have placed The Passage into the Horror genre, it could just as easily belong in Urban Fantasy, Dystopian Fantasy or Thriller/Mystery genre and I think fans from each of these will find something that appeals to them on a number of different levels. One of the highly acclaimed horror stories to come out in the last twelve months is The Passage by Justin Cronin and in my opinion is by far one of the best I have ever read. As a child I had a slight phobia of those things that go bump in the night, but fast forward to present day and it seems I just can't get enough of chilling suspense filled stories about ghastly monstrosities who want to feed on your sweet sweet blood.
I'm not sure when I started enjoying horror stories. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.
As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape-but he can't stop society's collapse. But Special Agent Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl-and risks everything to save her. An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy - abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions.
