The Eidolon

Sweet Taste Of Fear

     In the obscurity of history lies a terror that defies comprehension. It feeds not only on flesh but on fear. Through millenniums, it fed, hibernated when sated, then woke to feed again. It arrived on Earth in the time of dinosaurs, now in the modern-day heart of a Southern college town, it is awake once more.
    The Eidolon is a tale of fear, memory, and survival. In it, the line between reality and nightmare blurs, and every shadow hides a secret.

     It has ended worlds before. A sentient, protean horror rode the Chicxulub asteroid to Earth, slaughtered the last of the dinosaurs, learned fear makes meat taste better, and that human fear tastes best of all. Centuries later, in the heart of a Southern college town, it wakes beneath a football stadium and finds tens of thousands of human minds within reach. As hauntings spread and people begin to disappear, a folklore student and a handful of ordinary people must decide whether to believe their own stories in time to turn science and legend against a creature that has never truly been afraid.
