| | Unemployed actor Jack Wade takes his comatose wife to
an isolated spot in the mountains, a place where a man once murdered his entire
family. Frankie was a successful movie producer, but now they have run out of
money. This dilapidated cabin is all they have left. As the long, lonely nights
stretch out before him, Jack's dreams overflow with nightmarish images. The
isolation loosens his grip on reality. He believes Frankie is capable of leaving
her bed and moving around. And as Jack falls apart inside the cabin, someone or
something else begins stalking the woods outside. Is the mountain evil, the
cabin haunted? Or is poor Jack just going insane? Dead and Gone is a relentless,
non-stop exercise in terror. This novel was made into a movie and released on
DVD by Lions Gate in 2008.
