The rumors surrounding Dupont Manor have always intrigued Even Briggs, but never enough to go venturing into the haunted woods outside Marion Forge. That is, until two teenagers are found unconscious in the trees and everyone is warned to stay away. Then, his curiosity gets the best of him.

Armed with a shotgun and years of hunting experience, he sets out to find whatever beast is lurking in the woods. What he finds is unlike anything he, or anyone in town, expected. An immortal beast haunts the night, hungry for blood. Those who make it to the manor never leave, and Ever Briggs has just become his latest victim.
