Wrong Turn

Christian Francis

Coming soon in 2026

Some roads are never meant to be traveled.


Deep in the remote woods of West Virginia, the wrong turn can be your last.

When Thomas Avon takes a detour to avoid a traffic jam, he collides with a group of stranded friends whose car was mysteriously sabotaged. Stranded with no cell service and miles from civilization, they set out in search of help—only to discover that something far worse than isolation waits among the trees.

Hunted by a clan of deformed, inbred killers who know every inch of the forest, Thomas and his companions must fight to survive a nightmare of rusted traps, blood-soaked cabins, and a hunger that never dies.

Based on the original screenplay by Alan B McElroy, this novelization plunges deeper than the film into the twisted backwoods. It explores so much more of the characters, the terror, the desperation, and unrelenting brutality when the wilderness attacks.

Christian Francis is a master of the macabre, known for his chilling tales that delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche. With a keen ability to blend psychological horror with supernatural elements, he crafts stories that haunt readers long after the last page is turned. Drawing inspiration from classic horror literature and modern anxieties, Francis’ work often explores themes of isolation, fear, and the unknown. His unique voice and unsettling narratives have earned him a dedicated following in the horror community. When he’s not writing, Francis enjoys immersing himself in dark fiction, film, and the eerie landscapes of his imagination.
