Blurb (from Amazon): "In the remote town of Consequence, nestled deep in the southeast side of Washington State, an ominous presence has cast its shadow over the community. Residents whisper of mysterious disappearances, strange sightings, and unexplained terror lurking within the dense woods surrounding the town.

"Chief of Police Darin Lane, a seasoned and peaceful law enforcement officer, is determined to uncover the truth behind the mounting fear that is gripping his town. As the town’s Chief of Police, he finds himself thrust into a chilling investigation that defies rational explanation. With each passing day, the unknown creature’s malevolence intensifies, threatening the very fabric of the close-knit community he has tried to protect.

"Unbeknownst to Chief Lane, his thirteen-year-old son, Daniel, faces his own challenge on a camping trip with his friends deep within the enigmatic forest. As the mysterious events escalate, the destinies of father and son become entwined in a battle against a terrifying creature that has somehow awakened and seeks to reclaim its dominion over the land.

"Creature is a riveting tale of suspense and supernatural intrigue, where a father’s duty and his son’s courage converge to confront a mysterious evil. Will Chief Lane unravel the secrets hidden within the dark woods, or will the creature’s presence consume Consequence and its unsuspecting inhabitants? As the suspense builds, the bond between father and son is put to the ultimate test in a race against time to save their town from the shadows that threaten to engulf them all."

Opinion: The font for this paperback version is extremely small and makes it almost impossible to read. Carner is a fantastic story teller but he provides a lot of story that is not necessary to make a good book.
