Fervent Haight Christopher J. Proft

People everywhere search for purpose and fulfillment in their lives; the residents of rural Haight, Nebraska, are no different. While some indulge in pleasures of this world and others seek edification through spirituality, a local man named Jim finds his purpose deep beneath his fields-and something deep beneath the fields finds in Jim the vessel needed to fulfill its destiny and his. For many years, Jim struggled to find any meaning in his life-any hint that would allow him a glimpse of his life's purpose. On his quiet piece of farmland, he has finally found what he seeks. He alone knows the secrets, the power, and the evil that dwells beneath this quiet, bucolic town-an evil long forgotten. Yet these are but vague glimpses of the unfathomable terror that lies in wait for a horrific new cycle of birth and rebirth. The fulfillment of Jim's life wish comes at a high price for the town. As people mysteriously disappear, it is up to the town's sheriff and a handful of locals to discover what is happening to them. What they find is worse than death and more horrifying than their imaginations can conjure-an abomination stuck on the wrong side of hell.
