Synopsis.
Three went in. Three came out. None even a shadow of who they once were.
When
their car breaks down, Dee, her boyfriend Luke, and his brother Mike
walk through a winter storm to take refuge in a nearby town called
Purity Springs. When they arrive, the emergency sirens are blaring and
the small farming town seems abandoned. With no other shelter, they
spend the night in an empty house.
But they soon discover that not everything in Purity Springs is as it seems. When the town's inhabitants suddenly appear the next morning, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves at the mercy of the charismatic leader, Elijah Hawkins, who plans to make Dee his new wife. Elijah's son, Joseph, offers to help them escape . . . but the price of his help may be more than Dee and her friends can bear.

Praise For CREED:
“Debut
authors Leaver and Currie make an auspicious foray into YA
horror...creating a believably desperate and terrifying situation for
their characters, and Dee's history of physical and sexual abuse adds
another layer of terror to this suspenseful and sporadically gory
thriller.” ~Publishers Weekly
Welcome
to a town that makes "Children of the Corn" look like child's play.
There's no shortage of scary shenanigans happening in "Creed" ... We'd
rather take a year-long gig teaching botany to the "Children of the
Corn" than take a gas-and-bathroom break on a sunny day in Purity
Springs. ~Kat Rosenfield author of Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone/ MTV
News
"This
is: a straight-ahead, cover-your-ears tale of terror that grows more
nihilistic and grueling by the page.... Leaver and Currie do the best
thing horror authors can do, presenting protagonists who make smart
choices, over and over, but to no avail. Now that's scary" ~ Daniel Kraus/ Booklist
