From the back cover:
Deep in the steamy backwoods of Georgia, in a place called 'the snake well' by the locals, a twelve year old girl is bound and ritually tortured. The details of the crime are bizarre, and the few citizens of Lucerne who know the shocking truth of the crime keep it secret...NOW...A young orphan boy arrives in the sleepy town...and in the dark woods something inhuman stirs in the 'snake well.' An ancient hunger has awakened. Soft voices call out from the dark forest, drifting over the bayou, echoing in the crawlspaces. The townsfolk's darkest nightmares stalk the moonlit streets. And two young boys must face an evil that has been waiting for millennia to bring humanity an everlasting night.
