Bloodtooth
A relic in Custer Falls turns dreams into deadly traps for thirty years
The novel follows Wes Henson as he carries the burden of a stolen artifact from Bloodtooth Caverns. This object acts as a conduit for an ancient evil that disrupts the natural order of sleep. For three decades, the town suffers from violent nightmares and physical harm during rest. The story details the slow erosion of safety in a community once defined by its quiet routine. Hitz explores the weight of responsibility when ordinary people encounter supernatural forces. The narrative does not rely on jump scares but rather on the creeping dread of inevitable doom.
