There are a lot of reasons to stay indoors. Bees. Rowdy teenagers. Wild Pokémon running amok. But for those who aren’t afraid of the great outdoors, might I recommend you read Drew Magary’s weird new horror/sci-fi novel, The Hike (hardcover, digital), in which a guy has a terrible, no good, very bad day because he decided to take a walk in the woods. To find out more about this cautionary tale, I spoke to Magary about the impetuous and influences behind this freaky and oddly semiautobiographical story.
