Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the shadow of the Pope Lick train trestle in Louisville, a Kentucky legend whispers of a half- man, half-beast creature known as the Goatman. For generations, the story was just a scary tale told to keep kids away from the dangerous tracks. But when Jimmy Summers's older brother and his girlfriend are found brutally murdered in the surrounding woods, the myth bleeds into a horrifying reality. Consumed by guilt, Jimmy embarks on a quest for answers, refusing to believe in monsters. His investigation leads him to an unlikely alliance with Shelley White, a classmate whose grandfather is a survivor of a catastrophic circus train wreck in 1978-the very incident that some say gave birth to the Goatman legend.As they dig into the past, they discover the truth is more shocking than any urban legend. With the town descending into a media-fueled "Goatman fever" and the body count rising, Jimmy and Shelley are drawn into a city-wide manhunt that blurs the line between man and monster.Below the Trestle is a gripping folk horror novel that explores how legends are born from tragedy and asks a chilling question: when a nightmare is over, where does the monster go?
