About the Book
When 5-year-old Adam witnessed the horrific murder of his father, his innocence was shattered. The only way he learned to deal with his anger was by secretly mutilating small farm animals. However, in the small, rural town of Cliftonville, secrets don’t stay buried for very long… and while rumours die hard, town folks are more likely to pin the massacres to the infamous Chupacabras… because, who would ever suspect clever little Adam?
