From the author of Man, F*ck This House (And Other Disasters)

Two feuding #VanLife influencers must put aside their differences in order to survive when they are stalked by a masked killer in a remote stretch of Death Valley.

Morgan and Jasper are the couple everyone wants to be: beautiful, successful, and constantly mobile. Their #VanLife content has captured the hearts and minds of a million online followers, who all “smash that subscribe button” to watch as the loving couple documents their outdoor adventures.

But it’s all a sham. Their relationship is on the rocks. Jasper doesn’t know Morgan’s trolling the dating apps. Morgan doesn’t know Jasper blew all their earnings on shady crypto investments. What started as a fun way to share their love of nature has turned into a grind. Plus, they’ve also got stalkers: fans whose parasocial obsession with the couple verges on the terrifying.

When Jasper gets a contract to shoot a promo for an upstart granola company at the Ubehebe Crater, a gorgeous but remote section of Death Valley, he talks Morgan into taking a last-minute trip. He’s secretly hoping this trip will not only solve their financial woes but also help them reconcile. But things go wrong immediately. A mysterious black van runs them off the road. Their cameraman seems like a lunatic. And soon, they find themselves stranded in the desert, pursued by a masked killer. Can Morgan and Jasper put aside their differences long enough to survive both the killer and the desert itself?

Critic Reviews

#VanDeath is an absolutely delirious novel, unhinged in all the best ways, and destined to do for vans what Jaws did for beach vacations. Brian Asman is a true original and simply one of the best in horror writers working today.”

“An all-gas-no-brakes blood-soaked thriller, #VanDeath is about the discontent lurking beneath the perfect social media life, the canyons that form between people who’ve lost each other in the illusion, and—oh yeah—a terrifying serial killer hunting for new trophies. It’s the perfect book to read by the campfire—or zipped inside your tent with a flashlight and the sleeping bag pulled over your head.”

“A vicious, fast-paced, blood-soaked, sand-burned slasher with unexpected heart that will make you fear every van on the road.”
