Cropsey: Terrifying Urban Legends (Book 3)

Every town has its monster. Staten Island’s is Cropsey.

For decades, kids have whispered his name around campfires and dared each other to venture into the woods. A hook for a hand. A shadow that watches. A name written in blood across generations of missing children.

When Maya Hobbs and her friends break into the abandoned asylum grounds for a thrill, they expect creaking floorboards and urban decay. Instead, they find something older and hungrier waiting in the dark. A figure with matted hair, a rusted hook, and a ledger of names stretching back decades—most of them crossed out.

One by one, her friends vanish. The police dismiss them as runaways. The legend grows teeth. And Maya realizes that once Cropsey has your name, he’ll never stop hunting.

Cropsey is the third standalone novella in Terrifying Urban Legends, a chilling series from Silas Toombs. Perfect for fans of:

• Urban legend horror brought to life
• Slasher-style folk horror in the woods

Don’t look behind you. The hook is already swinging.
