Description
Return to the world of Renfield County from the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Edenville. Perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay and Eric LaRocca.
"You remember all the stories, right? Monsters and giants and kid-eaters and that guy in the tub? Of course you do..."
There's something wrong in Renfield County. It's in the walls of the county's historic houses, in the water, in the soil. But far worse than that-it's embedded deep within everyone who lives here. From the detective desperate to avoid hurting his own family; to the man so consumed with feeling zen that he will pursue horrific, life-changing surgery to achieve it. From the townspeople taken by ancient, unknowable forces; to those who find themselves lost in the woods, pursued by the beasts who lurk within the trees.
Yes, there's something very wrong in Renfield County-something that has been very wrong for a very long time. Something that is watching.
Something that is hungry.
From the mind of acclaimed author Sam Rebelein, return to the Bram Stoker Award-nominated world of Edenville in this interconnected series of short stories, and discover the true secrets of Renfield County.
