CRAWLING SKY (2013)

"Horror novel legends Joe R. Lansdale and Keith Lansdale team up with Brian Denham (X-Files, Zombie Kid Diaries) and Antarctic Press to bring you a tale o' terror set in the wild, weird West! When their dad accidentally commits murder, plug-ugly Norville and his sister Sissy have to flee with him to Texas to start a new life. Near the town of Wood Tick, they find a homestead, good as new, but abandoned. The only problem is the well, which is blocked by big, white stones. One by one, they unblock the well, unaware they're slowly setting free something old and dark and evil."

"Reverend Mercer escorts Norville back home to face the demonic spirit in the well. The mystery deepens when they find a secret tome called The Book of Doches. As night quickly approaches, the two must build a barrier to stop the evil-not from coming into our world, but from returning to the source of its power."

"As darkness falls upon the sleepy town of Wood Tick, Reverend Mercer and Norville prepare to trap the haint demon living in the well on Norville's property. But even with special carven stones and the reverend's frontier-style faith on their side, they are only human, and the monster has had a long time to become strong."

"In the penultimate chapter of the Weird West, hard-luck Norbert and the hard-bitten Reverend Mercer mount a last-ditch defense against the ancient, lethal, HUNGRY terror in the well. A line has been drawn in the sand...but they're on the wrong side."
