O knihe

An elderly man has been murdered in his basement by a violent and mysterious creature stalking the shadows of a small Connecticut neighborhood. The murdered man's neighbor, Curtis Reynolds, wasn't looking to become a monster hunter when he returns home to console his panic-stricken estranged wife over the recent violence next door, but life has other plans. With an autistic son, a pile of past-due bills, PTSD, and a recent DUI, Curtis doesn't need any more complications. Yet when he and his family narrowly escape a murderous encounter with the creature during a cataclysmic hurricane, the Gulf War Vet begins an investigation of the monster that leads him down a rabbit hole of government conspiracy and genetic experimentation that threatens to destroy his fragile psyche with all he holds dear. As simple as this hunt might appear, Curtis's inquiry into the creature soon cascades into a psychological landslide toward madness. He discovers an abandoned neighborhood with its own well-preserved secret along with a defunct pharmaceutical facility in his backyard, fraught with unimaginable horrors. The stress of these terrifying realizations blends with his already chaotic life, causing Curtis to bend under the pressure and begin reliving traumatic incidents from his past as his internal struggle begins to surpass the external battle with the creature.
