For decades, children have vanished from the isolated town of Dorton Bluffs with terrifying regularity. The disappearances come in clusters near the beginning of spring and fall, and not one of the missing has ever been found alive. FBI investigator Felix Freeman believes the pattern belongs to an uncaught serial killer—and he arrives certain that he already knows the kind of man he is hunting. But the residents of Dorton Bluffs insist there is no killer. The children simply ran away, they claim, just as unhappy children have always done. Then Felix hears a playground rhyme about something called Treetops. As rehearsed explanations give way to warnings of offerings and a presence hidden in the northern forest, Felix discovers that some communities do more than keep secrets. They feed them.

Evota Falls was built beside a river and a railroad, but the river is gone—and the town is dying with it. With the cattle thinning, the dust deepening, and hunger closing in, the few residents who remain are desperate for something—anything—that might keep their community alive. Then word begins to spread of the Curdler, a savage desert beast with a price on its head. Soon, armed hunters are arriving by train, eager to claim the bounty and make their names. But in Evota Falls, every solution creates a darker problem. As the town begins to prosper, its new mayor discovers that survival has demands of its own—and that the most dangerous thing in the desert may not be the creature everyone has come to kill.

After losing his daughter, Richard retreats to his childhood home in the Missouri countryside, searching for the solitude he needs to write—and the strength to let go of a place crowded with painful memories. But something has fallen near the abandoned Pea Ridge mine, and the surrounding woods are no longer behaving as they should. The animals have disappeared. An acrid, ammonia-like odor drifts between the trees. Something powerful enough to tear through sheet metal is circling Richard’s house—and it seems drawn to more than blood. As night closes over the Ozarks, Richard and his faithful three-legged dog find themselves trapped against a predator unlike anything on Earth: a creature that can sense pain, fear, and the private darkness its victims carry within them. To survive, Richard must confront not only the horror stalking him outside, but the grief that has been consuming him from within.
