The Howling at Billy Falls

By A. L. Nichols

In the quiet hills of Cairo, West Virginia, something has been waiting in the woods for generations. Now the killing has begun again.

On Halloween Eve, beneath a blood-red moon, a group of children wander into the woods near Billy Falls and discovers a horrifying scene. What begins as a shocking murder investigation soon exposes a darkness buried deep within the history of the small Appalachian town.

When Caleb Mercer returns home following his brother Thomas's brutal death, he is determined to uncover the truth and bring the killer to justice. But the deeper he investigates, the more disturbing the evidence becomes. Old photographs, missing-person cases, strange family records, and warnings left behind by his father point toward something far more terrifying than an ordinary murderer.

As bodies continue appearing near familiar landmarks, Caleb discovers that the danger may not be confined to the woods. A mysterious bloodline has protected its secrets for generations, and some of the most dangerous creatures are capable of walking among ordinary people.

With the help of a local deputy, Caleb follows a trail of disappearances, betrayal, and supernatural horror that leads toward the secluded rocks and dark waters of Billy Falls.

But uncovering the truth comes with a terrible price, and the closer Caleb gets to his brother's killer, the more he begins to question what his own family has been hiding.

Some secrets are buried. Others are carried in the blood.

The Howling at Billy Falls is an Appalachian supernatural horror novel filled with werewolf terror, family secrets, small-town mystery, and psychological suspense.

In Cairo, the woods remember everything, and when the howling begins, nowhere is truly safe.
