Book 3 of 3: Reach for the Dead

Before the myth, there was the truth.

On a road trip to Baker City and the mountains of Oregon, Shady Groves, Ray Bartlett and their friends are looking forward to a few days’ vacation. On the way, they make an unscheduled motel stop where Shady encounters Missy Davenport, the proprietor, an old photograph of Missy too, and her family, horror attached to it.

Arriving in Baker City, they stay at the Grand Willmott before heading into the wilderness, another photograph down a gloomy corridor there, this time of ten men in animal masks, armed with pitchforks, so at odds with the hotel’s luxury surroundings.

Two photographs in less than 24-hours, both of which unsettle her.

But is that the only connection?

Piece by piece, Shady will find there’s more to the photographs than she could ever imagine. And that creatures of myth and legend, hybrids, could be responsible for a spate of missing people, including Brandi Hadley, the most recent person from Baker City and the local area to disappear without trace.
