The Return

Springerville is famous for the legend of the Mogollon Monster. Of course nobody really believes it. It's just a good campfire story, something to attract gullible tourists—until an excavation team unearths the figurine of a screaming woman, the jawbone of a deformed animal, and a child's toy.

How odd that they were buried together. Odd, too, is the foul odor lingering in the air, the strange noises at night, and the man's face found hanging from a tree.

Now the locals are locking their doors. Because after sundown, campfire stories can seem very, very real.
