A group of people cross over the edge of their ordinary lives and find themselves in the remote woods of the Ozarks, where they encounter strange creatures of light and darkness, the Snawfus and the Ozark Howler. As they struggle to find their way through the hills, they must come to terms with what they have left behind.

When the shredded body of Harlan Beckett is found on a remote Ozarks ridge, the legendary Ozark Howler comes under immediate suspicion, but game warden Nora Pruitt isn't so sure. She is determined to follow the facts, but then podcast B-lister Doug Whitford shows up, and things get... complicated. Trek through the weird landscape of the Ozarks in Julian Argo's debut novel, a Wattpad-first story, Death and the Ozark Howler!

I wrote this story as an assignment for English and I decided I'd share it on here. Feedback would be really nice, for I haven't read it to my class yet. Enjoy!

A frightening story told to the children.
