Ghost In The Clade

By: Bailey, William Thomas

In the misty Siskiyous of 1964, Reverend Alloicious Rains leads his devoted flock to reclaim Button, Oregon-a forgotten lumber town erased from maps and memory. What begins as a divine mission to build utopia soon turns nightmarish as parishioners vanish without trace. Two battle-hardened friends-Lee Griffith and Rence Kessel-discover they are not alone in the ancient woods. A hidden and forgotten hominid, cloaked by more than the ancient forest itself, stalks the revival.

As faith frays and fear takes root, the Buttonites must confront an enemy older than scripture and more merciless than any human sin. In a town where every shadow hides a watcher, the line between salvation and slaughter blurs. The ancient ancestor hunts. And the people-fragile, brave, fiercely bound-must decide whether to flee, fight, or face the ghost in the clade.

A gripping blend of evolutionary horror, 1960s revival fervor, and unbreakable friendship, Ghost In The Clade asks: when the unseen becomes seen, what remains of belief-and survival?
