It's been decades since the vampiric old gods turned on their worshippers. Driven by starvation, they came with the setting of the sun and turned a nameless, isolated village into a killing ground. Only two of the residents remain now: a hermit named Walter and his undead daughter, Alexis, who he sacrificed nearly twenty years ago.
Every night, Alexis shows up at Walter's window to try and lure him out. And every night, he indulges her in conversation but never steps past the safe threshold of his front door.
But when four hikers stumble upon the town one evening, everything changes. Will Alexis finally flush out the father that left her for dead? Will Walter find some absolution for his crime? Or will the morning sun rise over a desolate wilderness strewn with mutilated bodies?
Hear the Branches Rattle is a quick and brutal exploration of guilt, what we sacrifice, and who we sacrifice to.
