The Buddy Snatchers

Alcoholic man-child Cal McCarthy wants one thing: to stay sober long enough at his ten-year reunion to win back his high school sweetheart. But reconnecting with old friends reveals he isn't the only one pretending to be someone he's not-almost everyone in town seems different.Something has infiltrated Cal's tiny Adirondack village and found its way inside the residents, altering their minds and taking control of their bodies. After a decade apart, Cal must rely on fading memories of his friends to figure out who's been infected, who's simply lying-and who's just grown into someone he no longer recognizes.A paranoid, character-driven small-town horror novel about addiction, identity, and the terrifying possibility that the people you used to know might already be gone. Perfect for readers who love Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style dread and horror that hits as hard emotionally as it does viscerally.Proudly represented by Crystal Lake Publishing-Where Stories Come Alive!
