Publisher's Synopsis
There's a place in Texas the locals avoid, where the lost go missing and the damned reside. You won't find it on any map, there are no road signs to guide you, and if you have the misfortune of finding it, may God have mercy on your soul.
Run, run as far as you can, for when The Scarecrow wakes, the harvest of blood begins.
