Dopefoot

When a college drop-out accepts work on a cannabis farm in the woods of Northern California, he realizes almost immediately that the harsh realities of this life won't match his naïve fantasies. He'll have to work hard-and watch his back. Dubbed "Harmless" by his cultish cohorts, the young man learns the logistics of cultivation and the dark philosophies dictating conduct in this outlaw wilderness.

The farm sits on a mountain the locals call Satan's Tumor, above a valley called The Green Cauldron, where dangerous elements have been brewing beneath the misty canopy. Overstimulated gangs of smugglers and well-funded foreign mobsters vie for control of this fertile territory, threatening to disrupt an elaborate ecosystem that predates history.

And beneath it all, in the most dismal corners of The Green Cauldron, even darker forces are stirring... angry, agitated, pushed to the brink. The forest is an explosive tinderbox on the verge of ignition. If he's going to survive, Harmless must sink to new depths before facing unimaginable horrors on a feverish journey into Hell and back.

Dopefoot is a distinctly Californian spin on dark woodland horror, a gory cryptid mystery fueled by butane, THC, and amphetamines, by Joshua Millican, author of Teleportasm and Chopping Mall: The Novelization.
