The dog should have been dead.
Leon made sure of that.
But the next morning-
it moved.
Something is wrong with the village.
People don't sleep.
They don't remember.
And every night, something walks the streets wearing human skin.
Leon was never meant to be part of it.
But now something is watching him.
Waiting.
And whatever lives beneath the village-
it already knows his name.
