In a small bayou town in Louisiana, people fear God's wrath and local superstitions – like the story of the Low Man, a vampiric figure who steals into sinners’ homes to kill them on moonless nights. The daughter of the town’s fire-and-brimstone preacher is not immune to the fear. But when a skull found deep in the swamp reunites her with a man from her past with a dark reputation, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her town from evil: not the horrors rumored to dwell in the swamp, but the real evil that walks among them. This is a powerful and chilling examination of obsessive love, the way stories shape us, and what happens when the best choice we can make is to unleash our own dark beasts.
