Publisher's Synopsis
What is love if not a hole dug from warm flesh that grows teeth, craves like the wolf craves the innocence and purity of the lamb, and the lamb aches for the wolf's bite, that leaves rot to fester as both become infected by violence and cruelty in the other's absence?
In the highly anticipated second installment of The Wolf's Den Anthology, Blossom James' disappearance finds Special Agent Henry Williamson descending into nightmarish visions that blur the line between dreams and reality after he's sent back to the city, and realizing that some wounds refuse to stay closed, and some gush pink; threatening to bring him back to the source of the infection, where another gruesome murder has Sheriff Norman Green digging for the truth of what lurks in the trees. Just as Blossom had left a sickness that rotted the soil and infected the Town, the Agent left a hunger, an appetite re-awakened by the buzzing excitement of violence that ached around the sudden shift of their absence. But just how deep those roots tangle, where they begin, will uncover the darkness that seems to grow from the Town. Even horror has a home, and sooner or later, it always comes back.
