The thrilling sequel to the backwoods splatterpunk novel The Remedy. One year after surviving the horrific events that claimed the lives of four of her friends, Leigh Swanson is still struggling to move on. Hoping it will free Leigh from her psychological torment, her therapist suggests she try "exposure therapy" and return to the place where it all occurred--Embry, VT. Meanwhile, ex-forest ranger Jake Spire is also struggling to accept his past, now living in seclusion and addicted to pain medication. In an effort to exorcise his own demons, Jake also finds himself returning to Embry. But both Leigh and Jake will come to learn that their shared past has a voracious appetite and has not had its fill of either of them. For sometimes, the only thing worse than fear is: The Therapy.
