Shanty Red

There's something growing under the town of Paw Paw, WV. Something patient. Something evil.

Something hungry. Once a booming mining town tucked into the quiet back hills of Northern West

Virginia, the town of Paw Paw is a shell of its former self. The only thing it seems to produce nowadays is

depression. So, when a string of violent murders strike the small hilly hamlet, friends, family, and

neighbors quickly turn into suspects for the town's new sheriff.

Enter Hardlee Owens, a young boy whose family was torn apart by COVID, and forced to relocate to Paw

Paw with his extended mountain family for the summer. It doesn't take long for Hardlee and his cousin,

JayBird, to befriend the Sheriff's young daughter. The trio set out to explore the town's many mysteries,

including the seductive Lady Whispers, and the eerie Mr. Scratch, an outsider who may hold the secret

to the madness taking over their town or be the one causing it. A secret kept hidden for over a century,

buried deep inside the tunnel just outside of town, and even darker than the mines stretching for miles

below them. Terror has never tasted so good!
