About this ebook
“Bentley Little is a master of horror on par with Koontz and King....The Return is so powerful that readers will keep the lights on day and night.”—Midwest Book Review
Springerville is famous for the legend of the Mogollon Monster. Of course nobody really believes it. It’s just a good campfire story, something to attract gullible tourists—until an excavation team unearths the figurine of a screaming woman, the jawbone of a deformed animal, and a child’s toy. How odd that they were buried together. Odd, too, is the foul odor lingering in the air, the strange noises at night, and the man’s face found hanging from a tree. Now the locals are locking their doors. Because after sundown, campfire stories can seem very, very real.

I've read several Bentley Little books, and LOVED THEM.. but this one was just terrible. It didn't measure up to his other books. It was hard to get in to until maybe the last 20 pages. I finished it only because I hate starting a book and not finishing it. The story line was flat and the ending was quick..just terrible. But I love his work so I will continue to read his stuff. One of the best horror authors out there!
