A collapsed mine awakens something old and ravenous in Haint, a horror novel rooted in Appalachian folklore and family secrets. When the Haint’s Rest Mine gives way, eighteen men are trapped below ground, but what emerges from the darkness is no longer human. Sheriff Hunter Gallogly searches for answers as bodies turn up across the hollow with torn throats and bloodless skin.
Greg and Bob, his cousins and the kings of the local drug trade, refuse to believe in monsters until their crew begins to die. As fear spreads through the mountains, the truth points toward a creature tied to the Gallogly family’s past and a hunger that grows with every nightfall.
With 4.3 stars on Amazon and strong Goodreads ratings, this Appalachian horror delivers brutal tension, bleak atmosphere, and relentless survival stakes.
