About the Book

In the shadowed heart of Hallowbend, a cursed village where the Fraser river runs cold and the trees whisper secrets, a night of unimaginable horror unfolds. Around a flickering campfire, the children of the town stand motionless, their faces shrouded in darkness, their eyes glowing like dying embers. Parents and officers, gripped by dread, watch as these silent figures, pale, gaunt, and wrong, step into the firelight. Some bear crudely stitched lips, trembling with something trapped inside; others stare with slack, lifeless jaws. Then the nightmare begins. One by one, the children convulse, their bodies splitting open in grotesque ruptures. From their torn chests emerge sprouts, tiny, writhing creatures, slick with gore, clawing their way into the earth to vanish beneath unnatural growths of grass. The air fills with the stench of blood and rot, punctuated by the chilling laughter of unseen shadow stalkers echoing from the trees. As the hollowed shells of the children rise, their mouths re-sewn by invisible hands, they lurch toward the river in a chilling, marionette-like march. In Hallowbend, the villagers face an ancient evil that festers beneath the soil, a force that claims their children and defies all reason. This is a tale of terror, loss, and the desperate fight to uncover the truth before the ground itself consumes them all.



About the Author :
Aryn Bats is a Canadian author of horror, psychological thrillers, serial killer crime fiction, dark gothic fantasy epics, and relentless suspense. A self-publishing indie writer through Draft2Digital and Kindle Direct Publishing, Aryn began releasing work publicly at age 48, though the passion for storytelling started at sixteen. After decades working in the trades, a severe back injury and long recovery shifted the course of his life. When the depression lifted following successful spine surgery, the urge to write returned stronger than ever. Bats dusted off an old manuscript written as a teenager, expanded it into a full saga, and has not stopped since. Known for twisted serial-killer crime sagas like Grey Kong, Bah Bah Blacksheep, and Cry Little Sister, as well as Dark Fantasy Epics such as Brackengloom, also atmospheric stand-alone horrors such as The Coroner's Daughter, 1313, Marlowe's Grin. Bats blends psychological depth with dark, immersive storytelling. Readers who enjoy the unsettling tension of Stephen King, the psychological sharpness of Gillian Flynn, or the stylized darkness of shows like Hannibal, Dexter and Mindhunter will find a familiar chill in Aryn's work. Bats has published over 30 novels to date and has more than 30 new stories in development... proof that sometimes a second chance at life ignites a fiercer voice than the first.
