When their car breaks down, Dee, her boyfriend Luke,
and his brother Mike walk through a winter storm to take refuge in a nearby
town called Purity Springs. When they arrive, the emergency sirens are blaring
and the small farming town seems abandoned. With no other shelter, they spend
the night in an empty house.
But they soon discover that not everything in Purity
Springs is as it seems. When the town's inhabitants suddenly appear the next
morning, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves at the mercy of the charismatic
leader, Elijah Hawkins, who plans to make Dee his new wife. Elijah's son,
Joseph, offers to help them escape . . . but the price of his help may be more
than Dee and her friends can bear.

Praise For CREED:
“Debut authors Leaver and Currie make an auspicious
foray into YA horror...creating a believably desperate and terrifying situation
for their characters, and Dee's history of physical and sexual abuse adds
another layer of terror to this suspenseful and sporadically gory thriller.”
~Publishers Weekly
Welcome to a town that makes "Children of the
Corn" look like child's play. There's no shortage of scary shenanigans
happening in "Creed" ... We'd rather take a year-long gig teaching
botany to the "Children of the Corn" than take a gas-and-bathroom
break on a sunny day in Purity Springs.
~Kat Rosenfield author of Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone/ MTV News
"This is: a straight-ahead, cover-your-ears
tale of terror that grows more nihilistic and grueling by the page.... Leaver
and Currie do the best thing horror authors can do, presenting protagonists who
make smart choices, over and over, but to no avail. Now that's scary" ~
