Hell Departed: Pillowface Vs. The Lurkers
A violent clash between three fleeing psychopaths and ancient monsters in a destroyed town.
Rufty constructs a narrative centered on the collision of two distinct predatory groups. The first group consists of Pillowface, Buddy, and Carp, who are fleeing a previous massacre in North Carolina. They seek isolation to recover from their injuries. The second group is the Haunchies, an ancient tribe of small humanoid creatures with sharp teeth. These beings have been hunting in the woods and cornfields around Doverton. The plot follows the inevitable confrontation between the desperate killers and the entrenched monsters. The author emphasizes the brutality of this encounter without offering hope for the victims caught in the middle.
This work sits within the tradition of American horror fiction focusing on rural terror and supernatural threats. It draws on the period of modern independent publishing, released in 2020 by an author exploring the boundaries between human depravity and otherworldly evil.
