When Ben, a suburban family man, takes a business trip to
rural Pennsylvania, he decides to spend the afternoon
before his dinner meeting on a short hike. Once he sets
out into the woods behind his hotel, he quickly comes to
realize that the path he has chosen cannot be given up
easily. With no choice but to move forward, Ben finds
himself falling deeper and deeper into a world of man-
eating giants, bizarre demons, and colossal insects. On a quest of epic, life-or-death proportions, Ben finds
help comes in some of the most unexpected forms,
including a profane crustacean and a variety of magical
objects, tools, and potions. Desperate to return to his
family, Ben is determined to track down the “Producer,”
the creator of the world in which he is being held
hostage and the only one who can free him from the path. At once bitingly funny and emotionally absorbing,
Magary’s novel is a remarkably unique addition to the
contemporary fantasy genre, one that draws as easily from
the world of classic folk tales as it does from video
games. In The Hike, Magary takes readers on a daring
odyssey away from our day-to-day grind and transports
them into an enthralling world propelled by heart,
imagination, and survival.
