Dangerous Kisses, Gruesome Bites

When a viciously mangled body is discovered, Jane struggles to keep her students safe and calm. Hysterical rumors of monsters and outlaws blow through Morely like tumbleweed.

The Apaches warn Calvin that an ancient evil stalks the land. Wendigo demons are possessing the dead, and they are hungry for human flesh. Calvin has great respect for his trading partners, but this sounds like a campfire story. Instead of demons, he’d rather daydream about Jane, the sweet schoolteacher. Calvin knows she is far too smart and soft for his rough hands, but he admires her from afar.

Then Jane’s daughter is attacked by a ravenous corpse. Calvin picks up his trusty rifle. Each day he escorts the two ladies safely home. Although their home is hardly safe, considering Jane’s husband is the meanest drunk in town.

When the lynching of an outlaw goes gruesomely wrong, the entire town panics. Calvin and Jane try to find a solution but their attraction is a dangerous diversion. Townspeople fall prey to deadly bites, jealousy and fear.

A rider goes out for help, but his horse comes back without him. The town of Morely will stand or fall on its own. Shots are fired, friendships are shattered and love is tested. Can the townsfolk band together or will Morley become another ghost town?
