A sinister horror about nightmares that never go away… From the author of the bestseller “The Shining”!
The year is 1989. A small town in South Carolina. For miles around, tobacco, cotton, and corn plantations stretch out, dense mixed woods and endless bogs of swamp land.
And in this wilderness—where the biggest events are finding a cow lost in the swamp or replacing a tractor’s spring—teenagers David and Andrea, walking in the woods, suddenly run into a local resident who’s crouching in front of a lifeless body and sawing off the head. Fear grips the town; the police patrol the streets, but a few days later another, even more outrageous crime occurs—this time directly involving David. The year is 2017. David brings his children to the family farm, to their grandparents, from a noisy city into blessed wilderness. And then the bloody nightmare, seemingly buried for many years, takes another turn—and this time the maniac’s target is David’s son.
Some secrets are so terrifying that even when they’re buried, they don’t want to stay underground…
