Batesville Ghoul (hardback)

"THE STEPHEN KING OF MANITOBA"
- Western Report magazine

In the wilderness depths of the Canadian north is said to lurk an unimaginable horror; an ancient evil spoken of in hushed tones around a roaring campfire by the Chamrais elders. A malevolent spirit whose dark influence possesses those who encounter it with a violent and obscene hunger.

The town of Batesville has fallen victim to this evil, though a political committee has used its influence to cover up these gruesome incidents in an effort to salvage the financial future of the economically challenged community. But when a young indigenous reporter from the city named Travis Randall begins working at the town newspaper, he starts to suspect that rampant alcohol abuse among the Chamrais and other suspicious events may have more sinister implications.

Warned not to probe into these situations, Travis's determined investigations bring him into conflict with the town officials, a move that threatens to endanger not only his career... but possibly his life.

Although Travis exposes himself to a human threat, an even more ominous and supernatural menace awaits as he discovers the truth behind the legend of The Wendigo.
