The Nightmare Room #6: They Call Me Creature

Meet Laura.

She's the tall girl holding two stray cats. Laura loves caring for animals. She nurses injured crows in her bedroom and roams the woods behind her house with her loyal dog, Georgie. To Laura, the tall pines have always felt safe. Dead wrong. But lately, the animals in the forest near her home have been acting strange.

Bats swarm and attack in broad daylight. On her walks, Laura hears eerie howls and inhuman cries. Georgie digs a hairy, severed finger out of the leaves. Her own father locks himself in the backyard shed, muttering secrets and warning her to stay away.

Laura goes searching for answers. Big mistake. Deep in the trees, she discovers a hidden hut filled with gnawed bones. A ravenous beast is prowling the shadows, and it is hungry for fresh meat.

And now, she is about to meet another animal. An animal so ugly and evil, it can only be described as a creature. Poor Laura. Sometimes a path through the forest can lead to The Nightmare Room
