About The Book
The Silence of the Lambs meets Something is Killing the Children in the supernatural horror thriller, SOMETHING CRAWLED OUT, where the devil you know may be the most terrifying of all.
The Devil wears many disguises – even the face of a friend.
Something wicked crawled out screaming.
In the small Midwest town of Welling Grove, Edith "Eddie" Miller has no grand plans or great prospects. She spends her days sleeping in and her nights working shifts at the local rest stop. But when her younger sister fails to come home, Eddie unearths a web of missing girls and rotting bodies. The police prove useless, so Eddie teams up with her best friend, Rainer, in a desperate hunt to find her sister. The only thing is…Eddie believes her best friend might be the Devil himself.

PRAISE FOR SOMETHING CRAWLED OUT:
"Something Crawled Out crackles with character and mystery. Arresting, charming, and bloody, too. Lures you right in." - Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author (for Queen of Teeth)
“Something Crawled Out … unearths a terrifying story of trust, loyalty, and siding with the devil when no one else will. For all of those who couldn't let go of friends-- living or beyond the grave-- Son M. and Madcursed are handing you the shovel...and leaving you to wonder who is going to get hit with it.” – Danny Lore (writer: Queen of Bad Dreams (Vault), World of Darkness: Crimson Thaw (Vault), Bloodline: Daughter of Blade (Marvel), Knight Terrors (DC), Minecraft: Journey to the Ancient City (Random House))
