The Ozarks have been torn to shreds by horrific Void Worms, and it’s up to Winston to stop them. The catch? He’s the one who let them out in the first place. Eldritch horrors have taken over and turned Missouri into a wasteland. Emma knows that her survival, and the lives of her father, Dave, and her partner, Abby, depend on Winston stopping the Shadow Gods… somehow. Is Winston made of stronger stuff than he’s led Emma to believe, or is the crew going to be trapped in Branson’s newest desert fighting bug people forever? What to expect: • Lots of grit • Both dark and camp humor • Insufferable male lead • Balanced by female lead • Cheese caves?? • Cosmic and body horror The Vibe: “Evil Dead” meets “Tremors” in a gritty and weird midwestern landscape! New installments will be added on Tuesdays and Fridays, and chapters are available as soon as they are written on Patreon!
