Read Scary Creek Storyline:

After years of crawling through ruined temples and wandering in Southeast Asian killing fields, Charlie Case, a photojournalist, returns to his DC home to discover that strange events are invading his dreams and creating havoc with his life. He tries to ignore the strange intimations, but suspects he is being manipulated by a compelling mystery.The gruesome ‘death by cats’ of an elderly relative provides Charlie with the incentive to re-examine his life and the fate he has fallen heir too, which includes reclaiming an abandoned coal baron’s mansion in Appalachia and tooling down highways in an aging motor home occupied by a chimerical and grisly cat, which is his spiritual guide.Charlie’s life is further complicated by the discovery that the house and property he has mysteriously acquired is still occupied by the deceased baron and his blind daughter, whose child was snatched from her womb years ago and spirited away. A sacred temple baboon, capable of perceiving evil in men’s souls, and the spirit of Klikouchy, or the screaming things, are all imprisoned within the house by a bloodthirsty wall that drinks the blood of its victims to sustain its power.Before Charlie can entertain thoughts of occupying the abandoned manse, he is compelled to find and return the missing child to Elinore, and devise a plan whereby the legion of incarcerated spirits can escape the house’s impregnable wall and find eternal peace. Charlie succeeds after he identifies a genetic aberration that links him with Elinore’sremaining descendants. He also resolves the mystery of why her eyes were sewn shut.
