This is a special 10th anniversary edition of David L. Day's terrifying debut novel. Contains an additional short story and author's foreward.
 
Two brothers—one searching for answers to his father's suicide, the other for relief from a decade of guilt—share a dark family secret.
 
A deputy, consumed by the decade-old disappearance of her cousin, draws lines connecting both brothers to her own obsession.
 
When the discovery of an ancient artifact summons an old man to a small town, the stone relic’s haphazard unearthing strips the townsfolk of their daily facade and forces them to confront their secrets. The birth of an ancient evil looms on the horizon. This is how the end begins, not with politicians and soldiers, but with the quiet destruction of a small town in Southeastern Ohio. This is the second coming, but it's not Jesus, and no one's getting saved.
 
Trigger Warning: Contains brief scenes of sexual violence. 
 
"Enthralling and entertaining in equal measures, this is horror done right.” – Tim Waggoner, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Hunter Called Night and Writing in the Dark
 
"A pitch-black work of horror that has it all: high action terror, bizarro nightmares, and soul-scarring occultism. Don't overlook this new occult thriller, and make sure you keep watching David Day. He's part of the new dawn of the horror genre, and its already rising." - Michael A. Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Play Dead
