A Child Among the Strangers

When a young Henry Thorn is kidnapped from his home and taken to a remote farm deep in the woods, the boy unexpectedly makes contact with a strange power living in the depths of the forest—and uses it to deal with his abductors. But he doesn’t yet know that this ancient creature has its own reasons to get rid of uninvited guests, because something that the monster needs is hidden under the house—in the dark, damp basement. And so blood will be spilled: the monster, learning about humans through Henry, will now stop at nothing.
