In Ostego, Michigan, Joseph gets new neighbors. Always an exciting thing since it never happens to this teen  living in 1948. Soon, though, he'll discover that his new neighbors are a bit off. Ok a lot of bit off. With his curiosity getting the best of him, he looks deeper into their lives and begins to uncover odd things about them which, in the end, might be his downfall. Curiosity killed the cat. He'll realize he should have listened to that old adage  when he discovers they aren't human and that one of them has a taste for blood. Human blood. Will he survive, or will he be destroyed and never seen again, his body lost somewhere in the expansive forests and beaches of Northern Michigan's dune land wilderness.
I've had much fun with this story, making it go deeper than I'd initially intended. You'll see what I mean as you get to the end. A new addition to this is that I've decided to write a second book that will be a continuation of this story and potentially, if things work out, a third would then be forthcoming. Currently, its title is 'Terror in the Town'.
Just to make sure people don't think I spelled wrong or placed the city of Otsego in the wrong place, Ostego is a fictional town that serves as the place for many of my stories. I hope you enjoy it. Comments and suggestions/feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

It's the future, and a war has knocked out half of the human race. The jungle has taken over most of the land, and people live in tribes or groups deep within the forest. Every group has a population of at least 300, and all of the tribes are against each other. Naikee lives in a group called the Sowadan group, and they live in the south region of the world. Each group is forbidden to go past the gates that hide their villages. Naikee is sick and tired of living within the walls of her villages, and she's always wondered what it would be like to go past them. On the morning of her Celebration of Life (basically a birthday), she finds a whole in the wall and runs past the gates and into the wild. After days of traveling she accidentally runs into a group called the Kaiboo, which are one of the most dangerous groups in the world. They are known for their cannibalism, though no one has ever dared to enter their gates. Before anyone can capture her, a boy named Mika runs into her and takes her to a secret underground storage. He only goes to her and talks to give her the meals at morning, afternoon, and night. After several days of this same thing, Naikee finally confronts him and makes him tell her whats going on. They get to talking, and he comes back to check on her more often now. As she develops a crush and they fall in love, they don't realize but they might be changing the course of history. Note: I'm sorry about the spacing, I'm not exactly sure how to do this because it's my first story. Someone can comment to me how to space if they're bothered by it, but just know each new section in a chapter is meant to be a new paragraph. Thank you so much fo reading!!! @allie!!!!!

While Clarice waits for help to arrive, miles away her parents and brother are brutally murdered in their home. At the funeral, a man approaches her and offers his condolences, claiming to be a friend of her brother's. Clarice has a sense of recognition but can't place where she might know him from.
