Produktbeschreibung
In the summer of 1978, the Rolling Stones begin their US tour, David Berkowitz (aka the Son of Sam) is sentenced to 365 years in prison, and Grease reaches number one at the box office. But for the residents of Bowie, Maryland, those stories are all second string. For them it is the summer of the Goatman. Fifteen-year-old Chris Dwyer and his friends have their summer all planned out with marathons of Atari and Dungeons and Dragons, interrupted only long enough to cool off at the local pool and possibly catch a glimpse of Melissa Casey in her pink bikini. But when reports of headless bodies surface on the evening news and a mysterious horned creature begins stalking Chris, plans change. He soon discovers his pursuer is none other than the legendary Goatman, a creature so terrifying and vicious it rips its victims apart with its bare hands. But what does it want with Chris? With his friends and brother by his side, Chris dives deep into the dark history of his hometown, uncovering a hidden world of witchcraft and demons. He hopes to discover the creature's origin and a means to stop its murderous rampage, but what he stumbles upon chills his very soul and causes him to question whether any of them will survive when the Goatman comes knocking.
Autorenporträt
Raised in Bowie, Maryland, Mark Reefe moved his homestead to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley some years back, where he lives with his lovely wife, two boys, one dog, and the sweetest mother-in-law. After many years in federal law enforcement catching drug smugglers, money launderers, and fugitives, he decided to scratch the itch tickling him and start writing. Mark's earlier published works blended his experiences along the southern border with supernatural elements in haunting tales that have received numerous accolades. Most recently, his fondness for the urban legends of his old stomping grounds spurred him to write Spindle Lane and The Ghosts of Glenn Dale. These darkly nostalgic stories feature teenage friends exploring many of Bowie's spookiest places and encountering some of their more infamous residents. Writing credits: The Ghosts of Glenn Dale (Apprentice House Press, Loyola University Maryland, October 2023), Spindle Lane (Apprentice House Press, Loyola University Maryland, October 2020), The Road to Jericho (Burning Willow Press, November 2015 and The Three Furies Press August 2020), The Valley of Hinnom (Burning Willow Press, January 2018), and El Sendero (Burning Willow Press, November 2017).When Mark's not writing, he enjoys woodworking, camping, breaking small appliances when they don't appear to work, apologizing to his wife for breaking the previously mentioned appliances, and bourbon (not necessarily in that order).
