Description
"Bentley Little is a master of horror on par with Koontz and King....The Return is so powerful that readers will keep the lights on day and night."-Midwest Book Review
Springerville is famous for the legend of the Mogollon Monster. Of course nobody really believes it. It's just a good campfire story, something to attract gullible tourists-until an excavation team unearths the figurine of a screaming woman, the jawbone of a deformed animal, and a child's toy. How odd that they were buried together. Odd, too, is the foul odor lingering in the air, the strange noises at night, and the man's face found hanging from a tree. Now the locals are locking their doors. Because after sundown, campfire stories can seem very, very real.
