🌾 NEW ON CREEPYPASTASTORIES.COM! 🌾

For decades, Thaddeus Collins filled his journals with weather notes, football scores, and the steady rhythms of small-town life in Keegan, Wisconsin. But when children’s games end in frightened whispers and narrow grooves start appearing in the grass, his daily entries become something else entirely—a chilling record of a predator that glides where no one thinks to look.

From ditches and hedgerows to porches and kitchens, The Black Devil of Keegan by Wesley Dunroe is a slow-burn descent into rural paranoia, cryptid horror, and one man’s desperate bid to understand a creature that knows his town better than its own residents.

In Keegan, it’s not the dark you need to fear—it’s what moves through the grass when you’re not watching.

📖 Read it now: www.creepypastastories.com/the-black-devil-of-keeg…

Check out www.creepypastastories.com/ for thousands of other fantastic horror tales you won't find anywhere else.
