On a quiet loop of country road in the middle of nowhere sits the town of Mannington, with it's one town sheriff and it's groves of trees, old cemetery and quiet countrified people.

But unseen to most is the real town that sits underneath, a town filled with people with dark secrets, serial killers and lawlessness.  Then one day when a lonely old woman is removed from her house by a corrupt minister something invades the town, something unseen, unstoppable with a hunger for people with dark secrets.

Guilty of terrible crimes himself, Sheriff Clyde grows more and more afraid as victims keep turning up.  Trying to keep his own secrets hidden while searching for answers, sheriff Dinkle lives in constant fear that it will come for him, like the others, not killed by human hands but by something that can be anywhere, something that can raise the dead, something lurking, waiting, and striking night and day, something that wont stop as long as there are people with dark secrets...…….something that lives....in the trees.

It Lives In The Trees

Shopping is woman's work. But now and then a Man needed things like the right cookies so he had to just...ahhhhhh, do it himself. 


Ed stood in the bathroom of the supermarket smoothing his gray hair with his comb, straightening his shirt so that only about one quarter of his belly hung beneath it over his pants and looking down at his hair coated legs and huge feet like a bear then back in the mirror. Damn, God sure knew how to pick the hot ones. 


As he stepped out of the bathroom his smug joy at his unbelievable God given handsomeness turned to anger as he saw Genny trot away, her heels clicking on the market floor. In his cart, on top of the cookies and cheese chippies were two cases of Ultra Slim Fast and a coupon. Bitch!
