"Page's Native Fear is a blistering and evocative examination of man's darkness. A harrowing read."
—Steve Stred, Splatterpunk-nominated author of Sacrament and Mastodon.
“Page manages to weave together strong undercurrents of cosmic horror, cult situations, splashes of sci-fi, and even some slasher flavors. There are creatures, mysteries, and creepy characters aplenty . . . original and engaging, with nuanced characters that aren’t caricatures (and, in fact, mock the stereotypes).”
—Kyle J. Durrant, author of Beyond Dimensional Veils
Winter 2017.
Olly Torrance—on the run, and hundreds of miles from his home in Illinois—winds up passing through Coyote Village, Michigan. If he’d taken a left or a right at the Main Street intersection, he’d be fine. But he—unaware of the ill-omened genius loci of the Elkhourne Ranch—went straight. He went up Old Willow Road. And not being a local, he hadn’t known about the sinister rumors. Everything ranging from Satanic worship to scientific experiments . . . and stranger things.
Olly finds himself in the care of the mysterious Elkhournes. They seem to accept him. They mend his broken bones, offer him a job as groundskeeper, but most of all: they don’t snoop into why he’s on the run . . . because if they knew what he’d done, they might turn him in.
Olly struggles against his own inner demons while simultaneously chipping away at the Elkhournes’ dark secret.
