    About this ebook

    It comes at night, when the world is a dusty, quiet ball of forgotten memories. When the horrific creature known as The Flayed One comes for you, make no mistake. 

     

    You will not be saved. 

     

    The pages you are about to read are the last known words of H.D. Wards, a teenage boy living in the town of Cedarcrest in the 1970s. Legends in the town talk of strange disappearances in the Redwood Forest, a dark wood at the edge of the town.

     

    The body of H.D. Wards was never found, but this journal was uncovered in the forest in the year 2020 by a visiting teenager. The words that follow stirred a viral frenzy worldwide at H.D.'s mention of a creature he called "The Flayed One." This flesh destroying monster had been the thing of legends for locals, but H.D.'s horrifying account details strange nightly visits, terrifying flesh maladies, and a chilling fight for survival. Monster hunters worldwide were taken with his eerie details and with the strange occurrences reported by locals that seem to support his stories.

     

    The world now watches, waiting to see if The Flayed One is an isolated species or something else entirely. For from the words of H.D. Wards, we learn this: Once The Flayed One chooses you, there is nothing that can be done to stop it. 

     

    Read on, learn more about the creature, but whatever you do...do not go looking for this dangerous creature.

      Trump Derangement Syndrome

      Just like stains, some ghosts can prove more stubborn to remove than others. Whereas a quick splash of Holy Water and prayer might suffice to see off most spooks, others require rather more obscure methods of banishment. Yet for sheer oddness, the ef
