Book Description:
Three went in. Three came out. None even a shadow
of who they once were.
When their car breaks down, Dee, her boyfriend
Luke, and his brother Mike walk through a winter storm to take refuge in a
nearby town called Purity Springs. When they arrive, the emergency sirens are
blaring and the small farming town seems abandoned. With no other shelter, they
spend the night in an empty house.
But they soon discover that not
everything in Purity Springs is as it seems. When the town's inhabitants
suddenly appear the next morning, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves at the
mercy of the charismatic leader, Elijah Hawkins, who plans to make Dee his new
wife. Elijah's son, Joseph, offers to help them escape . . . but the price of
his help may be more than Dee and her friends can bear.

Praise For CREED:
“Debut authors Leaver and Currie make an auspicious
foray into YA horror...creating a believably desperate and terrifying situation
for their characters, and Dee's history of physical and sexual abuse adds
another layer of terror to this suspenseful and sporadically gory
thriller.” ~Publishers Weekly
Welcome to a town that makes "Children of the Corn" look like
child's play. There's no shortage of scary shenanigans happening in "Creed" ...
We'd rather take a year-long gig teaching botany to the "Children of the Corn"
than take a gas-and-bathroom break on a sunny day in Purity Springs. ~Kat
Rosenfield author of Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone/ MTV News
"This is: a straight-ahead, cover-your-ears tale of
terror that grows more nihilistic and grueling by the page.... Leaver and Currie
do the best thing horror authors can do, presenting protagonists who make smart
choices, over and over, but to no avail. Now that's scary" ~ Daniel
Kraus/ Booklist
