Rusthook

A town run by a cult, a serial killer, and a haunted puppet. 

Snowy Oaks, Virginia is an isolated town overtaken by the Church of the Holy Transcension. Those who still dwell here live in squalor within the boundaries of a barbed, chain-link fence-no cell service to the outside, no television, no connections. And no one to call when the dismembered bodies of young women start to turn up around town. The Transcensionists need someone to catch the killer who's culling their flock-someone special.

Because this killer is no ordinary man...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Rusthook is not just a great tale about the eerie and the unsettling, it's also a true passion project on top of it. It's in its core just the kind of work we're eager to see taking shape by the hands of new authors, equal parts ambitious and grounded enough to stick the landing."
