          What if your touch made someone else susceptible for a merciless, evil entity?  One touch of your hand and people could die in bizarre, gruesome or mystifying ways.  Imagine being the plaything of a blasphemous monstrosity—and you aren’t even aware of it.

        That’s the predicament of Christopher “Kit” McNeil.  In the midst of a broken, hand-to-mouth life, an unexpected death forces him to return to his small hometown in the Tennessee mountains after eighteen years. A talented guitarist with a history of foul luck and poor choices, Kit discovers a connection between himself and the plague of deaths that have devastated nearly half of his high school graduating class.

        When he becomes a suspect in the death of a police officer, and is stalked by three horrific and unnatural children, Kit realizes that the blighted nature of the town—and his own life—are linked to an ancient, malefic being.  She will soon be free to roam the land once more.  But can Kit get out of his own way long enough to face down the Mother of a Thousand Wombs?  Or will the depraved Dunley family continue their reign of terror over Black Rock by helping to unleashing the thing that the Cherokee once called Uyaga?
