Once Upon A Nightmare

4/21/2015

I must interrupt the A to Z Challenge to alert you to an awesome book by an equally awesome author.

A monster hunts us. After hibernating for a decade, it’s ravenous. We long to stop this nightmare, but the end of the road is far. There is no waking up once a legend sets its sights on you.

Disappearances every ten or so years make little impact on the small town of New Haven, Virginia. Hikers get lost. Hunters lose the trail. Even when a body is discovered, the inhabitants’ memories last about as long as the newspaper articles.

No one connects the cases. No one notices the disappearances go back beyond Civil War times. No one believes a legendary monster roams the forests in Southwestern Virginia.

I don’t either until the truck breaks down on an old mountain trail. Cell phones won’t work in this neck of the woods. It’s amazing how much a person can see by starlight alone. So what if we can’t feel our fingers or toes as we hike toward the main road. How many more miles left to go?

Crrraaack!

Hear that noise?

This looks like a great read! Any idea if she's considering an audio book release?

Thanks, TD! I haven't really thought about releasing it in audio. It can be hard to find a narrator that works on a share of the profits, and I, unfortunately, don't have the money to hire a narrator. If it ever gets the opportunity to become an audiobook, I would jump at it.
