Maunderston has always been the kind of town where everyone knows everyone—and where secrets rarely remain buried for long. When teenager Hunter Davis is found dead after a crowded house party, the authorities call it a tragic accident. His mother calls it a lie. Then every road out of town becomes impassable, communication with the outside world abruptly ceases, and an impossible decay begins spreading from the Davis home. A stranger has arrived in Maunderston. He claims that an unjust death has occurred, and he will not leave until the guilty are delivered to him. As fear transforms neighbors into accusers and old suspicions erupt into violence, the people of Maunderston must decide whom they are willing to sacrifice. But the figure stalking their crumbling streets has no interest in rumors, excuses, or convenient confessions. He wants the truth—and he intends to judge everyone before he finds it.

Bullied, isolated, and desperate to escape his tormentors, Bradley runs into the woods—and finds a place that should not feel as though it has been waiting for him. Raised high among the autumn trees, the bat house is home to far more than the creatures named on its warning sign. Its shadowed interior seems to recognize Bradley’s pain. Its inhabitants whisper his name. And somewhere beyond the open hatch, something hidden from the daylight offers the frightened boy a sanctuary unlike any he has known. But refuge can become temptation, and the darkness that welcomes the unwanted rarely gives without expecting something in return.

After an eternity spent wandering the burning caverns of Hell, a nameless Southern soul is offered something almost unimaginable: a promotion. His new handler calls him Country and promises him water, shelter, and occasional passage back into the world of the living. All Country must do is enter the body of a girl believed to be possessed, follow the instructions transmitted through a strange insect-like device, and obey the rules governing Hell’s ancient contest with Heaven. Unfortunately, Country has received no training, understands almost nothing about his assignment, and has no intention of returning to the caverns. When his first mission places him inside a dark toolshed with three armed men closing in, desperation turns a carefully controlled operation into a nightmare of confusion, violence, and infernal consequences.

Blending black comedy, supernatural terror, and uncompromising brutality, Drew Stepek's “A Little Bit Country” takes listeners into a vision of Hell where damnation has departments, suffering comes with paperwork, and every opportunity may be another form of punishment.
