Penanggalan!

by Daniel I. Russell

A busload of young offenders drive into the great Australian outback, led by their wardens Ken and Samara. With the destination of Mount Banjarra as the first night of camp, Ken anticipates that the egos and reputations of the teens will burn away around the campfire, leading to some much needed group bonding.

As the night creeps in through the bush, something awakens in the foundations of Mount Banjarra, a creature that slithers and creeps and pounces from the shadows.

The penanggalan.

If people can migrate to Australia...why not their monsters?

Extreme

This is a great extreme vampire. Read it all in one sitting. So exciting and gory. Excellent story don't miss out!

I don't like vampire stories, to be honest, I don't like vampires what so ever, but this was really enjoyable. It was completely different to normal vampire stuff and I dare say that if more vampire stuff was like this, I'd probably enjoy it more. Very quick and enjoyable read!
