Mothman -Origins-: A Cryptid Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798277614372)

In the summer of 1966, twelve-year-old Eli Scarborough discovers a hidden cave deep in the hills of Point Pleasant, West Virginia-a place the mountain seems determined to keep secret. Inside lies an ancient stone streaked with blood-red veins... and something else. Something awake.

What begins as an innocent adventure with friends soon spirals into a nightmare of prophetic dreams, strange lights in the sky, menacing shadows in the forest, and a winged figure haunting Eli with burning red eyes. As Eli unwittingly binds himself to an ancient Shawnee curse tied to Chief Cornstalk, the boundaries between dream and reality begin to erode. Each night brings visions that grow darker. Each day brings new signs that something is watching-and searching.

As Point Pleasant marches toward the infamous Silver Bridge disaster of December 1967, the town's secrets begin to unravel. A curse hundreds of years old is awakening. And Eli, the boy who stumbled into the cave, may be the only one who can stop what's coming-or the one who brings it to life.

Atmospheric, eerie, and deeply rooted in Appalachian folklore, Mothman Origins is a gripping reimagining of the legendary Mothman sightings.
Fans of Stephen King, Robert McCammon, and eerie, slow-burn supernatural thrillers will feel right at home.

Step into the mountains...
Follow the shadows...
And discover the beginning of the legend.
