Creature: A Horror Novel (Carver Book 1) Kindle Edition by Flint Maxwell (Author) by Flint Maxwell (Author)

Not all monsters come from the movies…

In the fall of 2008, John Carver’s older brother, Owen, goes missing. He is found dead a few days later, his body torn apart by the local wildlife. Despite reports of strange noises heard at the time of Owen’s disappearance, the police rule the tragedy as “a death by misadventure.”

Fast forward to the summer of 2009.

To cope with his brother’s passing, John dives into the art of filmmaking. Armed with a camcorder and his two closest friends, Ali and Becca, he begins work on a horror movie with the hopes of winning the local Harvest Festival Short Film Contest and a prize of a thousand dollars. The work proves difficult but rewarding.

Until, while gathering footage one night, the trio crosses paths with something inhuman.

And a new question now burns in John’s mind: Is this the creature responsible for his brother’s death? He doesn’t know for certain, but he won’t stop until he finds out the truth.

Even if it kills him.

This page-turning horror novel is perfect for fans of monster stories, characters with unbreakable bonds, and coming-of-age horror classics like IT, A BOY’S LIFE, and SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.
