Mountain of the Dead
An American true-crime writer has traveled across the world to follow
the footsteps of the nine Russian hikers who slashed open their tent in
the middle of the night to flee into a blizzard in subpolar
temperatures. They all died, some of them violent deaths, but nobody
knows exactly what happened.
I found this book to be as strong as the first book, The Suicide Forest, in Bates' World's Scariest Places. The Dyatlov Pass Incident happened in 1959 and of course I had to Google to find out what went on and what's true compared to what Bates has come up with himself. The author has created a great story. What's been covered up? What's really out there? The remote location, the weather, what could go wrong.. it's scary because you just never know. A few parts in this book I found the author went overboard in regards to some situations the American author, Corey, found himself in. It seemed unnecessary and took away from the flow of the story but overall this was really good and definitely interesting.
4/5.
