Publisher's Synopsis
Something ancient has awakened in the swamp... and it's hungry.
December 1953. A snow-covered North Carolina town is gripped by fear as pets and livestock turn up mutilated, their bodies drained of blood. Locals whisper of the legendary "Beast of Bladenboro," a shadowy predator blamed for these gruesome deaths.
Claire Sutton, a driven journalist returning to her rural hometown, finds herself drawn into the heart of the mystery-and into a bitter reunion with her estranged father, the town sheriff. As the death toll rises and panic sets in, Claire uncovers chilling Cherokee legends, hidden family secrets, and a blood curse tied to her own lineage.
When the creature begins stalking humans, Claire must confront a nightmare that walks between myth and reality. The only way to stop it may lie deep within the haunted Big Swamp... but some horrors were never meant to be unearthed.
A supernatural thriller based on chilling true events, The Beast of Bladenboro is a pulse-pounding tale of ancient evil, buried secrets, and the price of uncovering the truth.
