Most folks avoided the woods around Pike Junction after dark with good reason. Years of whispered folklore and lurid campfire tales made sure of that. But when screams of horror rip the night anew and a series of mutilated bodies - the hunter, the lovers in the van, the biker - are found, frantic stories about 'The Beast of Crescent Creek' return with a vengeance. Now the town sheriff, the attractive new M.E., and an anthropology professor leading a student expedition are all headed deep into the murky thicket, on a collision course with the shocking secret behind something part human, part animal, and all blood-chilling, dick-ripping, flesh-feasting creature from Hell.
