Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the wild interior of the Yucatán, far from the lazy beaches of Cancún, two young couples and some new-found friends venture to the site of an ancient Mayan temple, in pursuit of another in their group. What started out as a day trip spirals into a nightmare when they reach the ruins . . . and discover the terrifying presence that lurks there.
Review:
"The best horror novel of the new century."
—Stephen King
"Like having a rope tied firmly round your middle, as you're pulled on protesting tip-toes toward a door marked DOOM."
—Entertainment Weekly
"Do not pick up a copy of Scott Smith's The Ruins if you have anything else you need to do in the next eight hours or so."
—Salon
"An exercise in unremitting tension."
—The Baltimore Sun
Synopsis:
Four American friends on vacation in Mexico meet a German tourist who asks for their help in finding his younger brother, who was last seen with his girlfriend near mysterious ruins. Smith's blockbuster novel is now adapted to film by Paramount Pictures, scheduled for theatrical release on April 4.
