Successful young business owner, Carlyn Carly Jensen has always known that Waukensee, West Virginia is different. There are... things... lurking here, dangerous entities that don't linger around other communities. Townsfolk have seen them from time to time throughout the decades; even reported them to the authorities, only to be subsequently ridiculed and have their stories conveniently dismissed or covered up. That's because the powers-that-be don't know how to deal with such creatures, and to admit their existence acknowledges a problem that they don't want to have to contend with.
These anomalies are the elephant in the room for every Waukensian, beasts thought of as just myth nearly everywhere else, talked about but only in hushed, fearful voices among family and close friends whom you can trust not to think you're crazy... simply because you know that they've seen the strangeness too. Werewolves, vampires, moth-men, lizard-men, and even the legendary Sasquatch are just some of the entities that have been reported to occasionally prowl the outskirts of this town when the sun drops below the horizon. The residents here follow quietly spoken rules of their own making-if you go out after dark, don't travel alone and stay close to well-lit, public venues. If you stray off on your own... you might not make it home.
Based on a story her grandfather told her many years ago, Carlyn thinks she might know why such creatures occasionally come to lurk around Waukensee. It's been quiet here for some time but now, after unexpectedly coming face to face with death, she's determined to find out the answer.
Join Carlyn, her brother Cody, and their friends as they unveil secrets of their own while attempting to unravel the mystery behind a string of violent murders and determine if the killer is merely one of their own or one of the oft-whispered-of creatures that stalk the area after sundown.
* Waukensee is a fictional town based on an amalgum of real WV locales.*
