Reporter Jake Fischer arrives in Bright Falls to interview a resident psychiatrist about his new book. After hitting a deer on a forest road and a series of odd encounters with townspeople, he soon finds himself blacking out and losing time, waking up in the middle of a forest and other locations where he wasn't previously. He also develops an aversion to light, finds strange and elaborate notes he has taken and suspects that he was somehow involved with the disappearance of a local motel owner. As his perceptions falter, he witnesses the signs of a mysterious epidemic sweeping the town. The longer he stays in Bright Falls, the more unpredictable his blackouts and behaviors become, leaving him no choice but to attempt an escape. (official distributor synopsis)

Same as the game it is advertising. Huge potential, but “nothing doing". However, even so in the end this is slightly better than the game. The problem with the game is that the guys at Remedy didn’t realize that the quality of these “King-esque" books lies in the characters. If you don’t give a damn about them, you can scarcely be afraid for them. And you won’t give a damn, because the characters (including Alan himself) hardly have any room for themselves, what with all the shooting and gathering things everywhere. P.S.: And you won’t find many answers in the game, in fact everything gets even more muddled there. Maybe we’ll get some in part two, if there is one.
