In the quaint town of Huntly, a moonlit ritual is observed by a Professor of Anthropology from a prestigious London university. Protected by the cover of darkness, he believes he is safe from prying eyes. But those involved in the spectacle are not ordinary creatures, and their senses are more acute than he has given them credit for. Unsatisfied with the response from the local police force, Jenna Wilkinson arrives in Huntly to search for her missing uncle. There, she meets the Detective Constable in charge of the case, Alan Young, and together they set about trying to uncover the professor's disappearance. One by one, more victims follow, and they'll have to put aside their beliefs and superstitions to save the town. But can they escape a fate worse than death?

By examining his career in this way the book offers insights that will prove of worth to political, social, religious and cultural historians, as well as those interested in seventeenth-century literary and book history.
Something evil lurks in the woods, on the outskirts of town. It lives in the shadows and strikes without warning, always with the same objective: to mutilate, kill and devour its victim. It's a monster with a cannibalistic craving for human flesh, and a sexual appetite which seemingly cannot be satiated. No victim is left alive, and the scattered remains divulge very little to the police pathologist. As the body count rises, the superintendent in charge of the investigation resorts to desperate measures. But soon, it becomes obvious that the police have woefully underestimated their suspect. A mistake which will cost them dearly. This book contains graphic sex and violence, and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.
Cannibalistic cave dwellers. Huge, terrifying clans roaming the moors, seeking out human flesh to rend and consume. It sounds like the horrors of prehistoric savages, but it falls well within recorded history of civilized men. The first half of the fifteenth century saw savagery and fear that erased the line between man and beast. Just eight miles east of the modern city of Edinburgh, Sawney Bean and his murderous family prowled the Scottish coasts, robbing travelers and consuming their victims. “Stick… stock… stuck. You’ve run out of luck. Kill... kill… kill. We eat our fill,” they chant as they descend upon their prey. There’s little the community can do but be hunted. This horrifying tale of nightmare-inducing monsters--inspired by true events--comes into stark reality in THE FLESH EATERS, an imaginative novel by Edgar Award winning author L.A. Morse. Beware, any readers faint of heart. It’s those soft hearts that are the tenderest meat.
