Like most small towns, Wellman, Georgia has its share of ghost stories. A group of amateur paranormal investigators plan to write a book about these macabre legends, The Tourist's Guide to Haunted Wellman . But after the ghost hunters perform a late-night ritual in a graveyard, the old stories seem to be coming true. Something has been awakened. Something angry. Something hungry. Occult specialists Jonathan Crowley and Carter Decamp begin separate investigations of the occurrences in Wellman, but soon their paths will converge, bringing them into conflict with malignant and dangerous entities. And it may be more than even their combined knowledge and skills can overcome.

James A. Moore and Charles R. Rutledge return to shadow-haunted Wellman, the setting of their Griffin and Price novels, for one last tale of suspense and dark horror.
