    About this ebook

    The walls were meant to keep evil out—but they only hid the evil within.

     

    John has given up his ordinary life to find wisdom traveling the country and enjoy the freedom of living as a nomad. But when he stumbles across a mysterious town tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains, walled off from modern society, he discovers a group of people who could use some freedom of their own. Are they a harmless religious sect, or is there something malignant beneath the surface?

     

    "A strong first outing from Timothy G. Huguenin who captures both the rustic Appalachian vibe and the creeping dread of bondage to sectarian delusion. Forbidden woods, a malevolent Council, and the mysterious Outsider who offers deliverance, are all synthesized into a tale of psychological horror and spiritual escape."
    — Mike Duran, Saint Death

     

    "A chilling entry in the small-town horror genre. Huguenin combines suspense, mystery, and action in page-turning style."
    — Scott Nicholson, The Red Church

     

    "A deceptively mild tale about a walled city that turns overtly scary before it's over."
    — Kirkus Reviews

      Zac was sweating and panting as he reached the top of the hill. The crooked beams of the library loomed over him. He dropped the buckets of water, swore at the few drops that spilled, and escaped the piercing morning sun in the shade of the library.
