Afraid: A Novel of Terror by self-publishing champion J. A. Konrath (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia) writing as Jack Kilborn, one of those closed-in small-town horror stories, originally out from Hodder's Headline imprint in 2009.
Konrath also repeats a bunch of his self-pub stuff and some of his backlist mysteries.
Nestled in the woods of Wisconsin, Safe Haven is miles from everything. With one road in and out, this is a town so peaceful it has never needed a full-time police force. Until now...
A helicopter has crashed on the outskirts of town and something terrible has been unleashed. A classified secret weapon programmed to kill anything that stands in its way. Now it’s headed for the nearest lights to do what it does best. Isolate. Terrorize. Annihilate.
Soon all phone lines are dead and the road is blocked. Safe Haven’s only chance for survival rests on the shoulders of an aging county sheriff. And as the body count rises, the sheriff realizes something even more terrifying - maybe death hasn’t come to his little town by accident...
