The Devil Stops at Sundown

Not all prey runs. Some hunt back.

John Lee Bullock never intended to stop in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

He's only passing through on his way to Veilington Hills, trying to outrun a past that left him cursed with an ancient hunger and a lifetime of ghosts. His only goal is to keep driving.

Then he crosses into a sundown town.

Sheriff Clyde Mercer and his deputies have spent years ruling Hattiesburg through terror, making Black families disappear after dark and leaving the town too afraid to fight back. To Mercer, John is just another traveler who won't live long enough to see sunrise.

But John isn't the prey Mercer thinks he is.

As innocent blood is spilled and the violence escalates, John is forced to make an impossible choice: keep the monster inside him buried... or unleash it against men who have spent their lives believing they are untouchable.

What follows is a brutal collision between supernatural horror and historical evil, where hunters become the hunted, justice comes soaked in blood, and the devil discovers that some monsters hunt back.

The Devil Stops at Sundown is a cinematic Southern Gothic supernatural thriller blending folklore, vampire horror, historical suspense, and dark fantasy into an unforgettable tale of vengeance, redemption, and the thin line between man and monster.

Perfect for readers who enjoy Midnight Mass, Interview with the Vampire, Lovecraft Country, True Detective, and The Green Mile.
