Haint

A Dark Vampire Horror Novel Featuring the Gallogly Family

By: Samuel Brower

Narrated by: Adam McLaughlin

Blood runs deep in the holler—And something hungry is watching.

Deep in a crime-ridden Kentucky holler, where the law barely holds and darkness hides more than just desperate men, Sheriff Hunter Gallogly is about to face a nightmare unlike any other. When a devastating mine collapse is followed by a string of gruesome murders, the evidence points to something beyond human—something ancient, relentless, and bloodthirsty.

Forced into an uneasy alliance with his drug-dealing cousins, Greg and Bob, Hunter must unravel the town’s buried secrets before the sun sets on them all. But as the body count rises and old family feuds reignite, the Galloglys discover that the real horror isn’t just the monster hunting them—it’s the shadows of their own past.

A pulse-pounding blend of Appalachian folklore, supernatural terror, and gritty crime thriller, Haint delivers heart-stopping suspense and relentless horror that will leave you breathless. If you love blood-soaked survival stories, ancient evil lurking in forgotten places, and the brutal reality of small-town secrets, this is the vampire horror novel you’ve been waiting for.

Will they stop the creature before the holler is drenched in blood? Or will they become the next feast?

Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Brian Keene, and Nick Cutter.

Stay in the Light

good creepy story, relatable since I live in the hollers of west virginia. plus we got coal mines

Scared girl loved it!

I’m not usually into horror but decided to give this a try. I was delighted by how entertaining it was, especially with the narrator’s performance. This book contains a fantastic mix of mystery, fantasy, comedy, and a little bit of spice. I will definitely be adding Bower’s books to my read/listen list!

This kept coming up on my "suggestions" list from Audible, but I always picked something else. That is, until I ran out of options so thought I might as well give it a listen. I hadn't even finished it before ordering it in paperback for my "favorites" bookcase. Audible knows me so well!

Great book- absolutely fantastic

It’s hard to find a good vampire story or movie that’s new - most are for the younger readers, long series, or romance books. I was searching for a good vampire horror story and I found it in The Haint. I honestly couldn’t put it down until it was over and although the end was exactly what it should have been I was still hoping for a happier ending for some of the characters. I definitely enjoyed this book and if you enjoy Vampire Horror then I suggest you take a look at HAINT.

Awesome Vampire Horror
