📝 Description: Crudely Drawn

Heather Ann Larson’s Crudely Drawn presents a narrative where a single moment of angst alters a family’s trajectory. The story spans fifteen years before the entities responsible for that destruction return to claim more lives. Baylor, her brother Kyler, and their close friend Bill form the central trio tasked with stopping these demons. The plot focuses on this specific group as they confront the supernatural threat that has resurfaced after a long silence. Larson writes within the horror genre, drawing on traditions of family trauma and demonic invasion. The narrative structure follows the characters’ attempt to defeat the returning monsters before additional casualties occur. This work suits readers who enjoy character-driven horror stories centered on sibling bonds and friendship under pressure.
