Corpse Collector

by Jim Goforth

Party girl Anna is out for a good time, drinking and dancing with her friends. She doesn’t have a care in the world.
And she’s just about to make the worst decision of her entire life.

Rock musician Dwayne has just played another frustrating gig to a less than full house of folks who couldn’t care at all about live music. Now he’s driving out on the highway, looking to find a room for the night and catch some sleep.

Teenager Glenn is en route home after a school excursion. There’s been trouble with the bus all day, so this bunch of school kids and their teachers are travelling lonely roads late at night. There’s about to be even more trouble for the bus, and all its occupants.

The lives of these three individuals are going to collide in a way none of them could have ever imagined.
All three of them, miles from home, are going to find themselves stranded out in the hostile wilderness, where something very wrong is going on.

This domain isn’t just a tangled maze of dark woods and rough country where one could wander around lost for days. It’s not uninhabited out here.

Aside from the mistrusting, secretive, reserved folks who choose to dwell out in these parts, this land belongs to something else.

Something terrible, something relentless. Something with an insatiable appetite for violence and a deadly thirst for bloodshed.

For those who don’t belong out here, and even for those who do, nightmares are going to come true.
