Picayune Strand: I Do Night Watch at a Wildlife Sanctuary in the Florida Everglades (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798307957967)

Isaiah Combs is a struggling gig musician who has lived in Naples Florida his whole life. When his acquaintance Harry tells him about a high paying job to do night watch deep out in the Picayune Strand State Forest, he seizes the opportunity.

Deep in the south Florida's state forests, where the roads turn to dirt and civilization fades away, Isaiah meets his new boss Deb at an isolated wildlife research center. The job seems simple at first. Watch the place, report anything unusual. At night he hears noises, sees flashes of something darting through the trees, and the woods begin to stare back.

It's a terrifying blend of Southern folk horror, backwoods paranoia, and unrelenting suspense, Picayune Strand is a nightmare-inducing descent into the unknown.
