From the back cover

Twenty years ago, a boy watched a pale, fur-covered hand drag his father into the darkness of the deep woods. His father's last word was a warning to run. Everyone who sees the creature dies, and the boy became the first to survive it.

Now a man, he returns to the remote Appalachian woods with a hired hunting team: Sarge and Dutch, ex-military veterans, and his best friend Mike. The village head warns them that the thing can smell them, that it might come down the mountain to finish the job. He gives them two sticks of old mining explosives.

Deep in the silent forest, where no animal dares drink from the creek, the team finds carved bone and a hidden snare. Then figures emerge from the mist: isolated mountain folk who say the Old One told them to catch the intruders.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

My dad grabbed me, dragging me toward the tree line.

"Don't look back! Just run!"

"It's coming out!"

I asked him what was coming out.

He shook his head, his face pale. "No one knows its name. Everyone who sees it dies."

Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks.

I looked up and saw a pair of massive, pale hands covered in white fur resting on my dad's shoulders.

My dad screamed one last thing: "Run!"

Then those hands dragged him backward into the darkness of the treeline.

Twenty years later, I built a hunting team to go back into those woods.
