After a series of disappointments and
mishaps at college, Josh Blevins returns to his small hometown, loyal dog in
tow, and begrudgingly settles in. Though he feels like a failure and his life
is at a crossroads, he’s made new friends and even found a girl.
But the pleasant façade of Midnight Falls he remembered from childhood hides a
sinister evil. One that goes beyond the hate festering within the borders and
etched in the streets to something much deeper and chilling. Anyone and
everyone could be a monster lurking behind the mask of hospitality. Knowing who
to trust is impossible, especially when he’s constantly butting heads with the
sheriff, who has a grudge against him, an axe to grind, and no intentions of
burying it unless it’s in Josh’s back.
Somehow, he's become an outsider in a place he once called home, and is
suddenly forced to choose between facing his problems or to keep running for
the rest of his life. And what lingers in the dark may not let him survive long
enough to decide.
Book Trailer:
Excerpt:
“I really wish you hadn’t found
that,” the elderly woman repeated as she stepped forward.
In the light of the naked bulb, it
was obvious there was something wrong with her. Her eyes were bloodshot, but
they had gone over all white like someone who had cataracts. Which wasn’t the
worst part. The skin of her face was…moving. Not muscular as with
expressions or speech. No, it was more like something was underneath her skin,
shifting, like insects crawling or burrowing.
Lizzie gasped, palms extended in a
paused motion somewhere between wanting to reach for her grandmother and push
her away.
I couldn’t move. This was the thing
B-horror flicks were made of, I thought as my brain tried to reason with
reality. An allergic reaction. She’d fallen and hit her face. Anything to
explain the sight before us. My heart pounded in my ears, and I could feel it
pulsing in my temples as my head swam.
Then, the elder woman’s face bulged
as if her head was made of clay, and someone had shoved their fist into the
back of it. It made a sickening crackling sound like dry wood in a fireplace.
My breath caught as I recognized it as the same sound I thought I’d been
hearing off and on for weeks, making me questioning my sanity.
Her head then abruptly jerked to an
inhuman angle, jaw sideways and the top of her head nearly flush with her shoulder. Her whole body began to
shudder as it contorted in alien, horrific ways, accompanied by the same
terrifying dry snapping.
Neither of us shifted an inch. Fear
trapped us in place as our minds struggled to witness the horror. Lizzie let
out small pathetic whimpers. My own throat clenched as my lungs forgot how to
breathe. The sheer terror made me feel so small and helpless before the grim
display.
Oh God, and then it got worse.
