Some seeds can never be uprooted

On a remote stretch of highway, two college students make a deadly mistake. They thought no one would ever know. They thought no one could find the body.

Instead, they summoned something that has made the town of Hampton's Edge its hunting ground.

Thirteen tales spanning decades reveal how a rural Georgia town's dark horrors come to the fore. From a Depression-era dog's heroic last stand to a modern family's nightmare move, from a dentist's horrifying secret to a punk band's final tour, each story reveals another layer of the ancient evil that feeds on Hampton's Edge.

As the years build and the terrors multiply, residents vanish, visitors never leave, and the town itself becomes a living nightmare. But every curse has its origin, and the one who began it all must eventually face what they've unleashed.

All Stories Must Reach Their Bitter End

Featuring cover art by Rich Tommaso (Black Phoenix, Spy Seal), TAKING ROOT is Kyle Pinion's chilling debut that proves some small towns harbor secrets darker than their residents could ever imagine.
