Part 1

His schoolyard bully is now his brother-in-law.

His sister’s tormentor.

The reason for his parent’s tears.

But he is not going to cower like he once did on the playgrounds and classrooms of his primary school.

He will act to protect his loved ones.

He is willing to commit murder!

But there are whispered tales about his nemesis.

Stories of blood magic and shape shifting.

Surely, they are lies.

Fables dreamt up by townspeople with too much time on their hands.

He is about to learn the truth on this road trip to hell.
