Publisher's Synopsis
Shortly after the death of Judd, his son Jed inherits the rundown hotel in the swamps of rural East Texas and begins to reopen for business. The local people in the small city of Elmendorf begin to gossip about the murders that took place at the hotel, where Judd fed numerous guests to his pet crocodile. The disappearance of Judd's crocodile after the murders have also led to plenty of Texas folklore, but when Judd's former handyman Clifford Wheeler confesses that he is in possession of the murderous croc and returns it to the hotel, Judd's son becomes a chip off the old block and begins feeding unsuspecting guests to the hungry Nile. This short story serves as a sequel to Tobe Hooper's 1976 horror film Eaten Alive, which is now in the public domain.
