The Last Black Eye of Antigo Vale — Christopher D. Schmitz

When Antigo, an orphan, finds a corpse during the harvest festival he is convinced of the Skekstatsiis's return! Village elders write it off as a delusion, or worse: a plot by the Trade League to disrupt the illiac harvest -- not some mythic monsters Antigo's ancestors vanquished. Only Bersham, the old crone who raised Antigo, believes him. Together they must stop the Skekstatsiis before they can feast upon the complacent souls of the Vale.
