DRAGON — Second Edition
Completely rewritten, darker, and more terrifying, this is DRAGON as it was always meant to be.
Four teenagers slip through a fence surrounding an abandoned industrial complex for a night of drinking, music, and harmless trespassing. By morning, only one of them comes back out.
She is injured, terrified, and telling a story no one should believe. Something enormous moved through the fog. Something took her friends. And afterward, from somewhere beneath the ground, it called her name in the voice of someone who was already dead.
When structural engineer Fen Thorne is brought in to evaluate the crumbling property and keep search crews alive, he expects unstable buildings, hidden voids, and decades of neglected steel and concrete. Instead, he discovers that the ground beneath the ruins is not empty.
Something has been living there for generations.
It moves through tunnels, pipes, rails, and foundations, turning the abandoned industrial site into a hunting ground. It can draw people toward places they know they should fear. It learns the sounds of its victims, their voices, even their names, and each time it uses them, the imitation becomes a little more convincing.
As the search continues and more people disappear, old records begin to reveal the truth. Workers knew something was beneath the mill nearly a century ago. They feared it, warned others about it, and eventually gave it a name.
The Dragon.
Now the search perimeter is failing, the creature is hunting again, and Fen is beginning to realize that understanding what lives beneath the ruins may not be enough to stop it. If he wants to end what began there generations ago, he may have to enter the one place no sane person would willingly go.
Down into the dark where it lives.
DRAGON: Second Edition is a completely rewritten version of R.D. Parrish’s original novel, rebuilt from the ground up with stronger characters, darker suspense, relentless tension, and creature horror lurking just beneath your feet.
Some monsters chase you.
This one waits for you to listen.
