"When we set out to write this book, our goal was to conjure up the deep fright that you have as a kid, the kind that takes your breath away, makes your spine tingle... A primal fear. We thought of classic fairytales—the ones where you're lost in the woods, and something is out there that wants—no, needs—to devour you. And we thought... how could this be scarier? Well, what if it was rooted in reality? You'd be surprised by how many people over the years have scoured the country looking for children to consume... how many real Big Bad Wolves exist." -- Scott Snyder
