Watch this book trailer for The Attraction by Douglas Clegg about a scarier mummy!

Signs along the desert highway read, “Come See the Mystery!”

But some mysteries should remain buried forever. Charlie Goodrow, owner of the Brake Down Palace Gas and Sundries, tells anyone who stops for a fill-up about the mysterious attraction in back. It’s the mummified remains of an ancient legendary flesh-scraper, whose job had been to scrape the flesh off the bones of human sacrifices…

When a car filled with teenagers gets a flat tire out in the middle of the Arizona heat, the kids figure they have time to check out the Mystery.

Behind curtains, in a glass case, lies a small, withered corpse with very long fingernails.

Above it, tacked on the wall, is a sign: “Do Not Touch. Do Not Feed.”

But it has to be a hoax, right?

How could the kids know that feeding the Mystery will be the worst mistake of their lives? How could they know that the flesh-scraper is hungry for flesh?

This is the book trailer for the horror novel The Attraction by Douglas Clegg. When several friends take off for a road trip over spring break, they stop at the roadside attraction. Far back, down a dark corridor, they find Scratch — a mummy the size of a child, but with claw-fingers hands. And then, one of them steals Scratch and the nightmare begins…Read the paperback by Douglas Clegg.

“Clegg is the best horror writer of the post-Stephen King generation!”
Bentley Little
author of The Policy and The Ignored.

Fun Facts:

Clegg based the locale of The Attraction on various actual roadside attractions he’s visited over the years, including the Thing in Arizona, off the 10 freeway.

Clegg based the college and fraternity party that opens The Attraction on his own college, Washington and Lee University, in Lexington, Virginia.

Clegg loves the mummy stories, but wanted to do something different than the slow and shambling Egyptian mummy tales, and given that he’s seen mummies on the desert, he figured he’d play off the idea of an Aztec mummy of some kind to create Scratch, the creature from The Attraction.

Douglas Clegg’s first novel was Called Goat Dance and came out in 1989, and more recently, his novel, The Priest of Blood hit the New York Times Bestseller List.

Clegg’s favorite mummy movies include The Mummy, The Curse of the Mummy, and Bubba Ho-Tep.

Clegg’s other novels include The Priest of Blood, The Lady of Serpents, The Queen of Wolves, The Hour Before Dark, You Come When I Call You, Nightmare House, Naomi, and several more.

“Douglas Clegg has become the new star in horror fiction, and THE HOUR BEFORE DARK is his best and most exciting novel to date. This is pure imagination, and it is wearing speed skates.”
Peter Straub
author of Lost Boy, Lost Girl and the New York Times Bestseller Black House (with Stephen King)

“Clegg delivers!”
John Saul
New York Times Bestseller of Nightshade and Midnight Voices.

“Clegg’s stories can chill the spine so effectively that the reader should keep paramedics on standby.”
Dean Koontz
Author of the New York Times Bestseller The Husband.
