Publisher's summary

"So you want to be a coon hunter?” Nathan asked gruffly. “Y-y-yes, sir, I do!” Jason stuttered. Nathan nodded. “Be at my house tomorrow night around sunset. Your parents know where I live. Wear some good boots and a warm coat. Painted Post won’t care how cold you get.”

Thus begins 12-year-old Jason Canton’s tutelage under the guidance of Nathan Ernst, with his legendary coonhound Seth and somewhat eccentric Uncle Arthur.

Jason and his close friends, Bobby and Tara, soon learn the ways of the woods and life, following the call of the hounds in the darkened forests. But something powerful and not entirely of this world has brought malice to the woods of the rural Upstate New York town of Painted Post. This cunning menace will test the skills and courage of Nathan, Jason, and his friends. They must rely on one another to face this threat. They will need the strength of the bond between hunter and dog. They will require an exceptional hound.

Fabulous fun and exciting story

Wayne Thompson is the perfect voice for the Ryland Creek Series. He brings the characters to life. Their fun antics and the sadness. The story came alive from this wonderful author.

Each book in the saga keeps getting even better!

I’ve read Joseph Gary Crance’s complete series. Now, knowing the whole saga, I can’t wait to go through it again to appreciate how intricately interlaced it is. What seems a peripheral detail in an earlier book takes on pivotal importance later in the series. I expected the audible versions would be convenient and entertaining, but I find that Wayne Thompson’s rendering of the characters brings the stories to vivid life. He makes the saga even more visual for the audience. I heartily recommend this thrilling, mystical experience.
