Greg Gallogly swore he’d never go back. Leaving his Kentucky hometown meant escaping the dead-end roads, the violence, and the ghosts of his past. But when his stolen chopper turns up in a gang-run warehouse, one reckless decision forces him and his new friend Tanya on a desperate cross-country escape—one that leads him straight back to Haint’s Hollow. Meanwhile, deep in the Appalachian hollers, Sheriff Hunter Gallogly discovers a badly burned man in a wolf den. The man should be dead. Or, if he is who Hunter thinks he is, he should have turned. But he hasn’t.

Mr. Atlas—the carnival’s owner, strongman, and wrestling champion—can bend railroad spikes with his bare hands. Saul Abraham, known as Solomon the Sorcerer while performing magic shows on the carnival stage, wields a power that has little to do with sleight of hand. And Carny, the tattooed son of a gypsy fortune teller, has a strange and mysterious ability that is yet to be truly understood. These men specialize in helping folks who have nowhere else to turn, and they are quite capable at the task.

Deep in a crime-ridden Kentucky holler, where the law barely holds and darkness hides more than just desperate men, Sheriff Hunter Gallogly is about to face a nightmare unlike any other. When a devastating mine collapse is followed by a string of gruesome murders, the evidence points to something beyond human—something ancient, relentless, and bloodthirsty.
