Stonyford Submission

In this exciting first installment of the Stonyford Submission trilogy, the northern California town of Stonyford is under the influence of a mysterious, evil entity. Every resident in and around the region appears to have submitted to its will. Most affected is a girl named Margaret, whose body was invaded by the unknown force. When Margaret witnesses the brutal murder of her younger sister, Wanda, by an invisible attacker, she feels responsible, and most of the residents of Stonyford agree. Traumatized and hospitalized, Margaret cannot understand what has happened, or why her own family does not believe that she is not alone in her own body. Decades later, an investigative reporter interviews Margaret, seeking to uncover the source of the unexplained deaths occurring in Stonyford. Murdock and his team learn of the original investigation of Wanda’s murder by the local sheriff and two police detectives, but they find there are more questions than answers. Why do the residents of Stonyford appear unconcerned with the many deaths of their neighbors and family members? What strange creature did a group of teenagers see when they partied in the nearby hills? What was the role of the old man who traveled the region with his vicious cobra?

And most important of all, can the Stonyford Submission be stopped?
