Description

Cora Mayburn returns to her hometown of Hensley, North Carolina in 1988 for a reporting assignment, tasked with interviewing Pastor Michael Wayne. She's given two weeks to uncover something interesting and worth writing about, but what she finds is far more sinister than she could have ever imagined. Pastor Wayne is investigating the strange occurrences surrounding his 16-year-old congregation member, Leah McDowell, who seems to be a host for an ancient evil known as the Great Worm. As Cora delves deeper into the mystery, she's confronted with scenes that are genuinely unsettling, particularly those involving the transformation of Hensley's children into creatures that engage in gruesome and creative slaughter. The result is a gripping and unflinching portrayal of a town on the brink of unleashing an ancient horror. With its gritty Appalachian setting and themes of religious fervor and salacious secrets, this novel is not for the faint of heart.
