The Salt Creek Valley Monkey Dog

By Edward Karshner

With his German Bible and a bag full of supernaturally charged silverware, Daniel, a recent initiate to a secret society called Der Jaeger, is dispatched by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson to investigate the disappearances of settlers in the buffer lands between the Ohio Purchase and the Indian Territory. Along the way, Daniel encounters a supernatural monster that shatters his understanding of reality and is thrown into a war against evil that stretches into mythology, leaving him woefully unprepared for his mission. With the help of the famed Shawnee leader Tecumseh, he must learn to listen to the land he finds himself in and remember his roots if he is to battle the evil that threatens not just the Shawnee and the fledgling United States but the very existence of humankind.

A historical monster tale drawn from Mountain Gap Book’s Haints and Hollers: New Ghost Tales of Appalachia anthology.
