The Fallen — Dale Bailey

Sauls Run is a great place to raise a family. Life is good, folks live to a ripe old age, and there hasn't been a violent crime in nearly a generation. It's almost as if some force is protecting the God-fearing folk of the Run from harm....

Henry Sleep left the quiet town a decade ago--after his mother's tragic death and a terrible falling-out with his father. Ever since, he has shut out his memories of the Run. He has tried not to think about the day his mother died. But now--after the startling news of his father's suicide--Henry is coming home....

Home, where his former girlfriend waits patiently for her mother to die.

Home, where his boyhood friend is mysteriously drawn to a long-abandoned mine.

Home, where the sheriff has something to hide.

Home, where the darkness in all of them is beginning to stir.
