Welcome to Willow Falls, where the shadows conceal menacing secrets.

Thirteen-year-old Joey Speight never anticipated the bone-chilling horrors awaiting him in this small river town. Forced to abandon the city due to his father's job loss, Joey's resentment festers as he's compelled to live with a Great-Grandma he never knew existed.

Joey soon finds companionship in Len and Anne, two friends with secrets as mysterious as the town they now call home. Len entertains them with tales of the Eyebiter, a local legend lurking in the park beside Joey's new residence. What begins as innocent banter soon transforms into a nightmarish reality as eerie occurrences envelop Willow Falls.

As the trio's friendship deepens, so does their awareness of the sinister force gripping the town. The Eyebiter, once dismissed as mere folklore, emerges from the shadows, casting a chilling dread over Willow Falls.

The quest for survival thrusts Joey, Len, and Anne into a terrifying pursuit of the Eyebiter. Within a lightless cavern where whispered terrors of the past echo, they confront the harrowing truth of the nightmare they sought to unveil.

With a relative he barely knows offering ominous advice, can Joey and his friends unravel the legend’s shocking secrets before the Eyebiter claims them as its own or is something more sinister awaiting them?

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Home Run

The Eyebiter's origin story comes at you in a fast paced tale of terror. 13 year old Joey gets uprooted from the only home he knows, Chicago, and transplanted to Willow Falls and a supernatural horror.

You can't help but feel for Joey as he struggles with with the monumental change the move brings. His quickly established friendship with Len is the perfect light in contrast to the darkness of attracting the Eyebiter's attention.

The story has a great ebb and flow of intense action and horror combined with character building and backstory development. It holds your attention and keeps your heart in your throat straight through to the conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Horror Tale
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024

Jay Bower has done it with this one. A bit of a slow burn with perfectly timed flashbacks to hold the tension, Terror reminds me of the classic Stephen King stuff I grew up on. He really nails the small town feel that sets this story up for some really terrible happenings. I read a lot, and I read and watch a lot of horror, and not many scenes make me squirm anymore. Prepare to squirm!

I really enjoyed this book by Jay Bower. The first in a new series he is writing, Bower nails the small town atmosphere, and writes some really terrifying scenes. I haven’t read all of the authors books yet, but I’ve read most of them and this is by far his best work to date

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrifying!
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024
I first became acquainted with Eyebiter in Jay's collaborative book with John Durgin and John Lynch. The Conservator's Collection: Derelict was a fantastic joint effort and Eyebiter really stood out as a memorable character for me. When I found out that Jay's newest novel would be an origin story for this terrifying character, I was thrilled!

Joey's father lost his job in Chicago, forcing the family to move into a small town to live with his Great Grandma Ruth while they got back on their feet. Once there, Joey beings having spells where he hears whispering and faints. His new friend, a local named Len, tells him about the local legend of Eyebiter. Is Joey just stressed from the move, or is he being attacked by an entity?

This story goes back and forth between Joey's present struggles and the year 1799. We get to read of the origin of the Eyebiter creature, and learn about Joey's connection to the beast. Jay keeps the reader turning pages with his stellar pacing, solid characterization, and creepy atmosphere. On top of all of the great writing and excellent plot, we get some intense gore and suffering when Eyebiter does their thing!

Highly recommend!

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024
Jay Bower has once again demonstrated his skill in crafting a creepy and suspenseful tale with 'The Eyebiter'. This book had me engaged from the beginning, and held my attention throughout. Certain parts of the story did make me feel uneasy, but overall it was a thrilling read. This definitely kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I read it.
The story follows Joey and his parents as they move in with his grandma Ruth after his father lost his job in Chicago. Joey starts having these weird spells where he starts hearing whispers, and then eventually faints. His new friend Len tell him about the story of The Eyebiter, is it just a lore or is it real? That’ll be something you will have to figure out as you read the book yourself

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting, entertaining, and, above all, scary!
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024
There hasn't been a single story of Jay Bower's I haven't liked: he makes horror exciting, entertaining, and, above all, scary! 'The Terror of Willow Falls' is all of these things and more. It's a coming-of-age story, structured a bit like a supernatural mystery, some sort of cross between an urban legend story and a creature feature. If you like these horror tropes, you're gonna love this book! It has gore, it has atmosphere, it has likeable teen characters, it has ghosts and monsters, plus the world-bulding is very well-done, promising more to come. Although it's not clear (to me) how it ties up with the Eyebiter story in the collaborative tome Bower did with John Durgin and John Lynch (except the eye devouring, of course), it felt nice to have some solid background story to the creature. Recommended!

Jay has done it again. A sinister story of a creature that craves blood. This book was phenomenal. It's creepy, bloody, and terrifying. I love the Eyebitter story in the Conservator Collection, and this was icing on the cake. Willow Falls has a deep secret... a family secret that can tear the town apart.

" If you wake it, bad things will happen!"

"You are him now. You are the one. Forever will you remain tied to this land, seeking blood and flesh to feast upon. Your fate is sealed."😧😬
