Nogglz

When Taylor is out walking her dog early one cold November morning, she's perplexed to see that Sarah's door is still closed--after all, Sarah's always the first one up and her door is always open, no matter what the weather. When Taylor investigates, she finds a scene so horrible that it's beyond anything that she ever could have imagined.

And thus starts the horror for the town of Canyon Bluff, a small, dying Colorado mountain mining community. Sixty years earlier, events had been set into motion that would take six decades to unfold, and now it's time for the townsfolk to pay the price for what had happened all those years ago. And they're paying the price with their lives.

They've shared the stories of the Nogglz for years: "If you don't behave, the Nogglz will come and get you and carry you down into the mines," they've told their children. Of course, they were just stories. But Sarah's death forces them to realize that it may be time to come to terms with the sins of their fathers and their own ties to the town's dreadful past. And for the sheriff and his deputy and the state troopers who are called to the town to deal with the murder, an ordinary day becomes an extraordinary battle for simple survival.
