In the quiet town of Shaw, compassion meets terror at St. Saviour’s Soup Kitchen. Eve Fitzmaurice volunteers alongside the kindly Father Tom, offering warm meals and kind words to those society has forgotten. But when a stranger named Tobias Grimes walks through the door, the fragile peace of the community begins to unravel. Behind his ragged beard and wild eyes lies a darkness older and more savage than anyone could imagine.
As the moon rises over the moors, a chilling transformation takes place — and the line between man and beast is obliterated. What begins as an act of charity soon spirals into a night of unimaginable horror that will haunt the living and the damned alike.
G. R. Malowney blends human warmth with raw terror in this gripping tale of faith, survival, and the monstrous hunger that lurks beneath the skin.
