They’ve lived in the woods and cornfields for as long as anyone can remember. Small, humanoid creatures with sharp teeth and grasping hands. The people in what’s left of the small town Doverton live in fear. They’ve learned that if they let the creatures take what they want, they won’t be attacked. An uneasy peace has reigned. But no more. The leader of the creatures has decided his kind will be dormant no longer. To survive, they must kill. They will satisfy their unholy hunger with their favorite prey—humans.
But some humans—females—will be kept alive in captivity…to breed.
There was once an agreement between the humans and the Lurkers. The Lurkers could build their community and take what they wanted to ensure their survival. They would leave the humans alone and live in peace. Slowly over time, things began to change. Sustainability was dying, people were leaving, except for a small few. The Lurkers needed to find another way to survive, and they will stop at nothing to fulfill their wants and needs. The people now live in fear.
There is much more to this story, but I do not want to take a chance on revealing too much. Just know there are many characters involved including lots of graphic violence, sex, and death. Love, jealousy, and some assholery. Likable characters and unlikeable characters.
There isn't anything too deep here, just a fun, campy, blood-soaked romp in the woods. Plenty of descriptive writing to spark the imagination and provide an overall fun reading experience.
One more thing Mr. Rufty. I want to know, how it is that you know, what old pantyhose feel like that have been sitting in a damp basement for many years?
