Growing up is hard to do, when people try to kill you. Thirteen-year-old Joey Kilgore learns this lesson the hard way, as he and his friends, who've dubbed themselves "the Bobcats," embark on a weekend hiking trip across the ridge of Black Oak Mountain. Completing the hike along The Gauntlet is a local rite of passage that separates the men from the boys, but when the gang happens upon a pair of cold-blooded killers disposing of fresh corpses, it leads to a nightmarish chase through a storm-ravaged forest that will test their mettle like they never expected. "If you're into fast-paced stories sweetened with tension, gore, and an unexpected death or two, you'll do well to pick this one up." - Cemetery Dance magazine "Wholesome, yet gritty and full of blood, with a young team of protagonists you can't help but root for. Bobcats goes where others fear to tread." - Chad Lutzke, author of The Pale White and Of Foster Homes and Flies "A fast-paced page-turner you won't want to miss!" - Silver Shamrock Publishing "Bobcats by Matthew Weberis without a doubt, a 5-star readthat fans of adventure and excitement will want to add to their libraries. " - Damaged Skull Reviewer "Bobcats is like Stephen King's The Body meets a Richard Laymon novel. This coming-of-age story is a nice balance of YA realism with a touch of noir and splatterpunk." - Vic Kerry, author of Jubilee and Revel's Ending
