Three hundred years ago, she fell victim to the fear and wrath of those who dwelled in Serenity Falls. Her body was devoured in flames. But her curse upon the town lives on... The hamlet of Serenity Falls is dying. Businesses have vacated. Tourism has vanished. And good will among neighbours is long gone. Historian Simon MacGruder has taken it upon himself to record a formal narration of the town's past before it fades into oblivion. What he uncovers is a history of the unspeakable: lynchings, mass murders, sexual depravity, and rumors of the birth of the anti-Christ. But the darkest secret is yet to be revealed—by a stranger who has arrived at MacGruder's door on a mission of his own...

The town of Serenity Falls has a history of the unspeakable. One man unearthed it. He paid the price. So will all who fail to heed the warning... Something is coming to Serenity Falls, something that has already touched the town with its demonic power. A young girl is horribly tortured, a boy becomes a conduit to hell, the dogs of the town turn feral. One man—a stranger to the town but not to the powers of darkness—has been enlisted to stop the encroaching evil. And soon he will discover that the true horror lies not with those who walk the earth, but with those who lie beneath it—in the damp, dark graves of the restless dead...

It began with a centuries-old curse, Writ in Blood. It gave way to the hellish fury of The Pack. Now, as night descend on Serenity Falls, the fun really begins... A widow is tortured to death - by the husband she killed. A collection of curious dolls has been discovered with a terrifying secret carved in each. And then, with a whistle that screams like hell, the circus arrives in town to raise a ruckus. But the Carnival of the Fantastic is raising more than that. It's raising the dead. No one can save Serenity Falls now - except the stranger known as the Hunter. Only he can protect the innocent from the damned. Because only he can tell them apart.
