When Grandpa butchers the family's beloved goat to feed a mysterious, starving visitor, our mountain home turns into a nightmare. Grandma begs me not to eat a single bite, warning that something evil is coming—and when a feral woman with goat eyes arrives, Grandpa forces me into a deadly bargain. If I speak a word or break the rules, the demon in the guest room will devour me before dawn.
Death was only the beginning for Silver Hollow’s wildest souls. When Big Mike dies with a drumstick in his mouth, it sets off a chain of betrayals, heartbreak, and supernatural reckonings no one saw coming. Nate—once the town’s troublemaker, now a preacher—wrestles with his own salvation as old friends turn into enemies and secrets bubble up from the grave. A stolen treasure, a cursed envelope, and a relentless manhunt force the narrator to choose between loyalty and survival. But when a portal to hell opens, the true cost of brotherhood—and the real identity of the preacher—will be revealed. In a world where redemption has a price, will any soul make it out whole? Or will Silver Hollow’s ghosts claim them all?
