When the Night Comes Knocking by Katherine Daniel

When the Night Comes Knocking by Katherine Daniel

In this Appalachian horror novel, two estranged siblings become trapped in a convenience store under attack by a monster from the mountains who feasts on guilty hearts.

Rattle, rattle in the dark...
The mountain's bones seek out a heart.

Jane has not spoken to her brother Thomas since the accident that nearly killed them both. Their drive from college through the North Georgia mountains is uncomfortably silent, until they stop at a roadside convenience store, where a man stumbles in with a mutilated body, claiming to have been attacked by a monster.

At first, no one believes the man's ravings, but when the next person to leave the store is brutally killed, they fear that local legend might be true:

There's a beast in these mountains who feasts on guilty hearts... and someone among them has lured it out of hiding.

Jane and Thomas each harbor secrets, but so do the other patrons, and as the monster claims more hearts, the survivors turn on each other, desperate to save themselves by uncovering the guiltiest among them.

If the siblings can't overcome the rift between them, they'll surely become the monster's next victims...or worse, become monsters themselves.
