The Dead Season A. J. Gentile

Chanks, the vindictive invention of Corey's alcoholic father's whiskey inspired imagination, becomes more that just a hollow threat to keep his son in tow. In Corey's already fragile mind the imaginary monster has become a flesh-and-blood reality..a living breathing nighmare, alive and growing. Horror strikes with blinding suddennesss, engulfing the lives of Michael and Vassie Laughlin, when their young son is abducted by Corey's deranged manifestation of Chanks. In a ruthless and terrifying chase they pusue the madman and in a shattering finale come face-to-face with their darkest fears, where sanity is pitted against madness and love against the corruption of the human spirit.
