The Camber Horror

A short story.

For twenty years Steve and Kathy had lived in the same sagging old wood house along a seldom used highway that twisted endlessly through the coastal range of Western Oregon. Pine-covered mountains rose up either side of the isolated valley they shared with a few other families. The hills were always dark with shadows and seemed to hold secrets from outsiders. But now something weird was growing in the woods, and people were disappearing.
