Timmy Tallent and Charlie Connors are truly best friends, who find themselves stuck in the middle of a conspiracy that could cost them their twelve year-old lives. They've witnessed something deep in the woods that was better left unseen- something horrific and blood-curdling. Modern day Danvers, Massachusetts is nearby-- now sitting upon the unholy grounds of ancient "Salem's Witch Hunts" of 1692. And three centuries later, the town still clings to a horrifying past she may never live down. But a black cat, like a shadow with nothing to cast it, also prowls these evil woods. To what end, nobody's certain; of what powers, nobody knows. A creepy atmosphere, good vs. evil, bewitching revenge, and a dying pharaoh's revelation, all play their roles in this wicked conspiracy; and the game is deadly. Can two young boys and a mysterious black cat somehow survive the evil plotting that brews in the Dark and Dreadful Forest?
