The Dark Ones by Bryan Smith

The call themselves The Dark Ones. The name began as a joke one drunken night, but now they embrace it because it fits. They are misfits and troublemakers. A small group of like-minded young souls banded together until they can escape their small town prison.

But some of them may not live long enough to escape. Because during their latest late-night adventure they break into an abandoned house and set free a long-imprisoned ancient evil...and now no one in Ransom, TN is safe.

"I look forward to spending a weekend with a new Bryan Smith book the way I used to look forward to spending a weekend with a new Richard Laymon novel. In my view, there isn‘t higher praise than that."--Brian Keene, author of The Rising
