Every three years, something ancient awakens along the Niangua River-and it's hungry.
When five friends set out on a summer float trip in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks, they expect campfire stories, river rapids, and a weekend of laughter. What they get is blood, bone, and the return of an unspeakable evil. Lurking in the shadows is Calvin Griggs-a scarred, antler-crowned predator molded by childhood abuse and possessed by a force older than the settlers who drowned the land in violence. He doesn't just kill. He hunts. He remembers. And now, he feeds.
As the woods close in and paranoia fractures trust, the survivors learn the river doesn't forgive trespassers... it drowns them in their own screams.
Devil in the Ozarks is a brutal, slow-burn descent into madness-where nature is not your friend, legends breathe, and the true horror is what you'll do to stay alive.
