The Ancient: Night Root, (Paperback)

<b>The Ancient: Night Root is a </b><b>short story with a chilling blend of science fiction and ancient folklore.</b> Some things do not die; they seed themselves in the earth. Buried in the red clay, something ancient waits. A hunger older than memory, and patient as the dark itself.<br> When a scientist perfects the art of resurrecting extinct species, her work is meant to be a triumph of science. Then, deep in the university's archives, she discovers a bone fragment that defies every genetic record. It is not from any known species... and not entirely dead.<br> What begins as an experiment in genetic revival soon becomes something far more dangerous. The fragment carries a hunger buried in red Georgia clay, a presence that remembers the dark beneath the earth. When animals are killed and people disappear, the scientist and a professor of folklore find themselves caught between science and something older, something that should have stayed buried. <p><b>Written by Clyde Verhine, Author of the novels: <i>'Body Number 6: The Robee Conspiracy'</i>, <i>'The Wraith: Dark Awakening'</i>, &amp; <i>'The Victor Lewis Files: Tales from the Void'</i></b><br></p>
