Gumberoo: The Hide That Wouldn't Bleed

Deep in the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest, the men of Camp Nine believe every creature can be killed with enough steel, powder, and lead. Then Earl Pritchard fires at something moving between the trees-and the bullet comes back. The beast has no fur, no blood, and a slick black hide that turns gunfire against the men who pull the trigger. Axes bounce from its flesh. Shotgun blasts ricochet through bunkhouses. Only fire can hurt it. But the thing stalking Camp Nine is not alone. As the survivors flee deeper into the wilderness, they discover a hidden breeding ground filled with rolling young, stolen human voices, and creatures that remember every scream. Trapped between a spreading forest fire, a merciless foreman, and monsters that cannot be wounded by ordinary weapons, the remaining loggers must decide what they are willing to burn to escape. Because the Gumberoo does not bleed. It learns. And once it hears your voice, the forest never forgets it.
