The WYRM — Stephen Laws

An ancient evil, released from its dark grave, is determined to stop the inhabitants of Shillingham from tearing down the old gallows at the crossroads by unleashing a campaign of bloodshed and revenge.

Something hideous is about to happen to Border Village of Shillingham.

Why does crazy Frank Warwick shoot at the workmen moving the old gibbet from the crossroads? Why should its inhabitants feel a sudden shiver of terror? Why are the local children drawn, as if by a silent voice, to play around the gibbet?

The unearthly fog surrounding the village is thickening, killing the wildlife and cutting the inhabitants off from the outside world. Beneath the ground, something is stirring.

And as the bulldozers roll on unchecked, a dark and terrible evil, imprisoned beneath the gibbet for centuries, slowly awakes -- burning for revenge against mankind.

For its inhabitants, Shillingham is about to become a Hell on Earth.
