In the village of willerby, a mysterious creature makes it's presence felt after newcomers awaken it...

"On the two-minute walk home, Sally and Dan picked their starlit way back to their cottage and felt – at last – Willerby was home.  There was a note pinned to their front door: Things don’t lie still in Willerby. You must be more careful. Here to help when you’re ready..."

What begins as a peaceful new start quickly unravels when a warning appears, and something ancient, buried deep within the village, begins to stir. In Willerby, some places are better left alone.This original paranormal horror story explores hidden creatures, rural folklore, and the consequences of awakening something that should have stayed forgotten.
