Publisher Summary

Eerie, terrifying, and unputdownable, The Ruins is Scott Smith's first novel since his acclaimed debut A Simple Plan earned rave reviews and stormed best seller lists.

The Ruins follows two American couples enjoying a pleasant, lazy beach holiday together in Mexico. On an impulse, they go off with newfound friends in search of one of their group, the young German who, in pursuit of a girl, has headed for the remote Mayan ruins, site of a fabled archeological dig.

This is what happens from the moment the searchers, moving into the wild interior, begin to suspect that there is an insidious, horrific other among them.

Review by Dan from The United States | 5/21/2011

Don't read if you don't like jungles. The first book in a long time that's legitimately creeped me out

I felt physically ill when I finished this book. It's disturbing

Review by Ravis from Toronto, ON, Canada | 5/20/2011

Good concept, and genuinely scary in parts, but the writing is unpolished and occasionally gets in the way of the story.

Review by Ken | 5/17/2011

There is something i really like about books that combine horror elements and psychological disintegration. Scott Smith manages to blend these two elements perfectly, in a tale that combines historical elements, bloody horror, and mental breakdown. Loved it - 5 Stars.
