Redwater Crossing was already dying.
Shuttered storefronts. Foreclosed homes. A town rotting quietly under unemployment, addiction, and abandoned hope.
Then, overnight, salvation appears.
A glowing used-car lot rises on the edge of town like a miracle. The vehicles are flawless. The prices are impossible. And the man behind it all, Earl Maddox, promises what no one else can anymore: escape.
Families drive away in dreams they could never afford. Businesses revive. Smiles return. For the first time in years, the town feels alive.
But the payments don't stay financial.
As suicides climb, violence spreads, and neighbors begin to unravel, Sheriff Mason Brody realizes something far worse than fraud is at work. The cars aren't transportation. They're contracts. And something ancient is using Redwater Crossing as a feeding ground.
Because the vehicles aren't the product.
The town is.
And whatever arrived on that stretch of blacktop isn't selling cars.
It's harvesting people.
Blacktop Harvest is a bleak, supernatural horror novel blending small-town dread, psychological collapse, and cosmic terror into a slow-burn descent where every bargain costs more than anyone understands?and where the road out may be the road straight into the dark.
If you love small-town horror, cursed objects, and stories where evil doesn't chase... it waits?you've just found your next nightmare.
