Champions of Nowhere: A Tale

By: Hallows, Michael

A supernatural horror tale of basketball and ancient evil. Be careful what you wish for...

When their star player suffers a devastating career-ending injury, the formerly undefeated Nowhere Devils lose their first playoff game, leaving them one loss away from the end of their season. High school senior Logan Tramer cannot believe his basketball career is about to end this way after being so close to winning State last year. He decides to make a wish at the infamous kitchen well, a local legend found in an abandoned house in the rural community of Nowhere, Oklahoma.

As the team begins to win in miraculous ways, it seems Logan's wish is coming true. But every wish from the well comes with a consequence, and soon Logan and his teammates will discover what they are willing to sacrifice for glory.

Set in the early 2000s, this sports horror novel delivers on both. A blend of coming-of-age drama, high stakes basketball, and chilling scenes of supernatural consequences, it is perfect for fans of The Ring, The Only Good Indians, and The Long Walk.

Champions of Nowhere is a standalone novel set in The Forgotten Counties, a fictional world based on the rural communities in southeastern Oklahoma and Indian Country.
