Dead Winds at the Rolling Donut by Nicholas Thurkettle
Original Release Date December 26, 2023
When weary highway travelers need a respite, they can always pull off at The Rolling Donut; there’s bottomless coffee and the cook can whip up a fine meal on the griddle. Tonight, it’s a quiet overnight shift, just a pair of conspiracy-minded truckers, a father delivering his daughter to college, a couple crisscrossing America in an RV. But strange things are happening: a freezer making mean sounds, the fryer oil changing color. Does someone in this diner hold the key to understanding it all? Supernatural forces and the powerful depth of familial love are about to collide in an emotional epic from Team Earbud – “Dead Winds at the Rolling Donut.”
