This is a very original and a very under-rated horror novel, which should find a much wider audience. The cover of the book does not do any justice fot it, but Zebra is famous for this. The saying "Never judge a book by its cover" is a perfect example here. The story takes place in two parts: 50,000 years ago and in the present. A Megistotherium - the largest known carnivore ever to walk, possessed by an ancient evil entity, preys upon all the living creatures and prehistoric tribe living at that time. United with despiration, the tribe seals the monster in his hideout, using magical stones. In the present, three grammar school girls release the creature from its imprisonment, thus bringing horror to the people living in the nearby community. Great story, great characters, great writing. A book well-worth searching for, buying and reading.
Spine Chilling, a plot turn every page

The setting of a small town holds intrest and innocence. After this book was written I sure they would have had to redefine the meaning of horror. Through dreams Jodie McCullough is drawn to an ancient burial ground and is consumed by its immaculate powers. Recomemded for anyone who loves absolute terror.
