Publisher's summary

Immerse yourself in the heart-stopping horrors of an isolated and crime-ridden Kentucky holler, where the lines between myth and reality blur, and a legendary creature awakens to stalk unsuspecting prey.

In the aftermath of a tragic mine collapse, Sheriff Hunter Gallogly finds himself caught between two worlds. A man of law, he must navigate the treacherous paths of his ancestral land while investigating a string of apparent murders. When the sheriff’s drug-dealing cousins, Greg and Bob, become involved in an investigation into the killing of one of their dealers, the trio soon stumbles upon evidence that points to an impossible perpetrator.

As the body count rises and terror spreads, Hunter, Greg, and Bob form an unlikely alliance, bound by blood and driven by survival. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to confront a seemingly unstoppable creature and put an end to its reign of terror. But as they delve deeper into the hunt, family secrets are revealed that could tear them apart.

Against a backdrop of moonlit hollers and ancient superstitions, the sheriff and his cousins, accompanied by both deputies and criminals, wage a desperate battle for the survival of their town. As the creature’s power grows, and the community descends into chaos, the Galloglys must confront their own demons and find the strength to face the unimaginable.

Prepare for a heart-pounding narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will the Galloglys overcome their differences and put an end to the creature’s reign of terror? Or will they fall victim to the same legend that plagued their kinfolk generations ago.

In this gripping horror novel set in the depths of Appalachia, author Samuel Brower weaves a tale of bloodlust, family bonds, and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to face the darkness head-on.

This kept coming up on my "suggestions" list from Audible, but I always picked something else. That is, until I ran out of options so thought I might as well give it a listen. I hadn't even finished it before ordering it in paperback for my "favorites" bookcase. Audible knows me so well!

Narrator was AWESOME!!

Yes, that’s really the best part of this story. I’m not into vampire stories; didn’t realize that’s what this was till I listened to it. But the narrator’s voices had me pulled in; he was that good. The story itself was just okay. Probably would’ve shelved it if it weren’t for the narration. Will look for more from this narrator (as long as it’s horror)! ;)

FINALLY! A great Vampire story with No Sparkles or Gratuitous Sex

This was the best vampire book I have listened to in ages! If you love vampire stories, but can’t stand all the teen love sparkle crap, or what seems like the obligatory gratuitous sex, or unnecessary gay characters that only seem to be in the story to have sex!

I would put this book up against some of my other favorites in the genre like The Lesser Dead, by Christopher Buehlman, or Blood sucking Fiends by Christopher Moore.
This was a fun listen that I just couldn’t put down, and I am genuinely sorry it is over. I wish there were an obvious continuation of this into a series but it seem not likely.

Excellent!!!

This is what the horror genre needs… a simple monster story with great characters, fearsome creature, and a bloody good plot.

Enough of this terrible high concept horror that always misses the mark.

Enjoy this story!!! Worth the credit!!!

A Perfect Horror Story

well written, good ending, and great performance. I love when I find gems like these on audible. horror is usually so predictable but this one had me guessing how it was going to end, and it didn't disappoint. I was a little apprehensive on some bits of the plot, but I stuck with it, and I'm glad i did. Narrator did a great job keeping the story interesting. All around good horror read.
