The Nght Country by Stewart O'nan

At midnight on Halloween in a New England suburb, a car carrying five teenagers veers from a winding road and slams into a tree, killing three of them. There are two survivors, one suffering brain damage. Only Tim is left alive and unharmed, but his life has been irrevocably torn apart. A year later to the day, summoned by the memories of those closest to them, the three who died have come back on a chilling final mission to revisit their families, friends and those they hold responsible.

Something wild and dark lurks in them and, as the ghosts tell us, there is no safety there' Independent
