Some things don't grow right unless something else dies.
In Split Hollow, the soil remembers. And it's starting to speak.
Merritt Goolsby's land has always thrived, even when everyone else's fields in town turned to dust. Folks kept their distance. They whispered about his quiet ways, about the wife he lost, and the crops that somehow never failed. No one asked why.
But this summer, something changes. The ground begins to reject what it once welcomed-dead animals rise back up, untouched by decay. Merritt hears strange sounds beneath the floorboards. And in the silence of his fields, something new starts to grow. Something not quite natural.
Then the disappearances begin. Quiet. Unnoticed. Like the land is choosing who gets swallowed.
As Split Hollow starts to take notice, Merritt is forced to confront the past he thought he'd buried. The land is hungry-not for water, not for sun, but for something only he can give.
And under the roots, something old is waking. Watching. Waiting.
What did Merritt feed the land all those years ago-and what is it asking for now?
