“Bentley Little is a master of horror on par with Koontz and King....The Return is so powerful that readers will keep the lights on day and night.”—Midwest Book Review
 
Springerville is famous for the legend of the Mogollon Monster. Of course nobody really believes it. It’s just a good campfire story, something to attract gullible tourists—until an excavation team unearths the figurine of a screaming woman, the jawbone of a deformed animal, and a child’s toy. How odd that they were buried together. Odd, too, is the foul odor lingering in the air, the strange noises at night, and the man’s face found hanging from a tree. Now the locals are locking their doors. Because after sundown, campfire stories can seem very, very real.
Praise for Bram Stoker Award-Winning Author Bentley Little

“The horror poet laureate...a master of the macabre!”—Stephen King

“[Bentley Little is] on par with such greats as Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Peter Straub.”—Midwest Book Review

“Little possesses the uncanny ability to take everyday situations and turn them into nightmares.”—Publishers Weekly

“Little has the unparalleled ability to evoke surreal, satiric terror.”—Horror Reader
