Book Description: A monster hunts
us. After hibernating for a decade, it’s ravenous. We long to stop this
nightmare, but the end of the road is far. There is no waking up once a legend
sets its sights on you.
Disappearances every ten or so years
make little impact on the small town of New Haven, Virginia. Hikers get lost.
Hunters lose the trail. Even when a body is discovered, the inhabitants’
memories last about as long as the newspaper articles.
No one connects the cases. No one
notices the disappearances go back beyond Civil War times. No one believes a
legendary monster roams the forests in Southwestern Virginia.
I don’t either until the truck
breaks down on an old mountain trail. Cell phones won’t work in this neck of
the woods. It’s amazing how much a person can see by starlight alone. So what
if we can’t feel our fingers or toes as we hike toward the main road. How many
more miles left to go?
Crrraaack!
Hear that noise?
