Publisher's blurb: Demonic taint corrupts this ransacked village, glowing red like fiery veins where it touches. Doors hang ajar on broken hinges, and the front gate squeals aimlessly in the wind, blown from the valley below. The spiked fortifications did little to protect against the horrors, which destroyed so many lives. The inhabitants have all vanished mysteriously, or fled—but the things which lurk in the town now… They would indeed welcome new blood.
