Howl of the West

Why did he have to be a hero? Clive Holiday thought to himself. A routine stickup, something he had done countless times before, had ended with the murder of an innocent man. Now, on the run from the lawmen of Dodge City, the town where he had once found success as a rancher, Clive's path led him to Moonlight Valley. The quiet little settlement seemed like the perfect place to hide, but beneath its safe facade lurked a bloodthirsty secret.

Something about the residents of Moonlight Valley was wrong. As Clive watched a line of seemingly healthy townsfolk gather outside the office of Doctor Paul Kelp, unease gnawed at him. Reports of people waking in strange places, disheveled and with no memory of how they got there, grew more frequent by the day. The truth Clive uncovered was stranger than fiction: by day, the good people of Moonlight Valley lived ordinary lives, but when night fell and the moon climbed high, they became something horrific, a crime against nature itself.

In this terror-filled tale, you will meet many faces along the way. But beware, behind every friendly smile may lurk a beast waiting to break free.
