On the shores of the St. Lawrence River there lies a secretive biomedical research facility. Within that facility’s deepest recesses are two vampires. One is a ravenous humanoid bat. A true apex predator. The other appears human but is no less dangerous than its monstrous peer.These vampires have amazing regenerative abilities, enabling them to rapidly heal from the direst of wounds. The facility’s scientists are trying to understand those unparalleled recuperative powers so they might be harnessed and applied to medical science. Their goal is to craft a universal panacea, fashioning medicines from monsters.Such a therapeutic would have nearly limitless possibilities for treating a myriad of conditions, including wounds, infections, or diseases. Many could be saved. A select few would profit.Dr. Wil Goggins, an eager research scientist, is thrilled to receive the promotion that grants him access to the mysterious secure areas of the facility. He will soon learn that many dark choices must be made in service of the greater good.As the scientific teams study the vampires, investigative teams work to find and procure more such creatures. Their efforts will take them to a town in the backwoods of Pennsylvania, where monsters are on the prowl. Although, whether the more fearsome monsters are vampires or humans is far from certain.Blood is often the price of progress.

Sometimes you should just stay out of the woods.Lacking any other options after graduating college, Jeff reluctantly takes a job with his uncle’s logging business in the small town of Cayuga.

Everything’s going fine until Jeff’s told to move his work crew into Sector G12.Jeff doesn’t know anything about trees or the logging industry, but he can tell that something is very wrong with Sector G12. Strange circumstances and unnaturally bad luck thwart their efforts to move into the area, even as mysterious otherworldly strangers emerge from the woods and warn him to stay away. Perhaps most unnerving of all is the ragged, abnormally large black bunny with lime-green eyes watching him from the trees.Before long, a woman nicknamed Coach rolls into town and claims she can solve Jeff’s problem, although her sanity is immediately called into question when she starts talking about fairies, elves, and pixies.When Jeff’s unrequited crush Ivy gives credence to Coach’s story by claiming that elves in the woods are after her for nefarious purposes, he and Owen decide to accept Coach’s crazy plan for a quest into Sector G12. Their trek into the forest reveals unimaginable perils, as they discover that Sector G12 is home to all manner of creatures.Jeff knew the logging industry was dangerous, but he assumed any blood or mayhem would be caused by an errant blade or falling tree, not by monsters in the woods. He was so very wrong.
