The Bleeding Season by Greg F. Gifune
A nightmarish tale that weaves psychological and supernatural horror into a tapestry of stunning power and depth. Unearthly warnings and cryptic clues send three friends on an journey that takes them into the shadows that dwell at the end of memory lane to uncover a deadly secret about one of their own......one that is far worse than they can imagine. Gifune's writing is both subtle and enigmatic, his characters so real you feel you know them, or someone very much like them in this chilling exploration of the question: How well do you really know your friends?
Highest possible recommendation.
