Description
'It's much more than most creature features, it has heart and thought, and a superb, head-on horror conclusion. The best Hunter Shea I've read so far and by more than a little.' - Eddie Generous (Unnerving Magazine)
The monsters live inside of Kate Woodson. Chronic pain and a host of autoimmune diseases have robbed her of a normal, happy life. Her husband Andrew's surprise of their dream Maine lake cottage for the summer is the gift of a lifetime. It's beautiful, remote, idyllic, a place to heal. But they are not alone. Something is in the woods, screeching in the darkness, banging on the house, leaving animals for dead.
Just like her body, Kate's cottage becomes her prison. She and Andrew must fight to survive the creature that lurks in the dead of night.

"Creature is unique. This book was a roller coaster for me, start to finish. Hunter's prose keeps you engaged in the fate these characters throughout. Highly recommended!" -- John Kilgallon Blog "I knew I'd read THE best book of 2018 once I'd snapped Creature by Hunter Shea shut for the final time" -- Kendall Reviews "Amazing book! I was totally enthralled from the start. This was a thrilling read from start to finish. Exciting, emotional, intriguing" -- Horror Housewife "This is one hell of a spine-tingling, hair-raising, nail-biting doozy of a read." -- I'm a Voracious Reader blog "Hunter took me inside each character's head to reveal their brutally honest feelings of anguish, fear and resentment. This made them live and breath for me." -- FUONLYKNEWMore details
