The Town by Caleb Pennington
- Digital — $5.00
- Paperback — $17.00
A would-be hero stumbles into an ancient nightmare where the line between monster and saviour is far more terrifying than he ever imagined.
Jake Parrocini has always imagined himself as the man who saves the girl.
After an argument with his wife sends him wandering into the forests surrounding his rural New York town, he stumbles across an impossible scene: a terrified young woman bound to a post while some of Sheffield's most respected citizens perform a midnight ritual.
There is only one choice a decent man can make.
Jake intervenes.
But nothing about the night is what it seems.
As ancient secrets emerge from the darkness surrounding Sheffield, Jake finds himself caught between truths no outsider was ever meant to uncover. The deeper he digs, the harder it becomes to tell who the real monsters are—and whether anyone can escape the town unchanged.
The Town is an atmospheric folk horror novel blending supernatural terror, small-town secrets and creeping dread into a haunting tale where heroism and hubris walk hand in hand.
