Shadows of Absaroka

THIS STORY IS TRUE . . . partly.

In his teens, author Chris Heimerdinger crafted a prank so elaborate it would haunt the mountains and highways of northern Wyoming for years.

Shadows of Absaroka is the chilling “what-if” story of an innocent teenage stunt spiraling into a gut-wrenching nightmare, unleashing the darkest impulses of the human soul. It's a gripping tale of naïveté colliding with terror in the unforgiving wilderness—where even the loneliest shadowy corners reveal that we're never truly alone.

A surprising ending that's worth the wait

I wasn't sure what to expect. The Big Foot hoax sounded like it'd be genuine fun, and I wanted to see what would come of it. The hidden spiritual message and the surprise ending were things I never expected. It was fun and adventurous, and it's well worth anyone's listen time or reading time. It might very well be Chris' shortest book ever, but if you've enjoyed his others then this is a must.

Fantastic listening
