The Burning Rider Ian Thompson

The Burning Rider a childish legend or a merciless supernatural executioner?


For over three centuries, no one has entered the village of Lydchurch at night and survived. There have been over six hundred reports of the apparition, and untold numbers of deaths and disappearances.

Modern-day investors don't want to believe the old legend. They want to quickly prove that the apparition doesn't exist and start developing the land...

When a small team investigates the abandoned village at night, their task begins with grisly discoveries and evolves into nightmarish horror. Soon the survivors are trying desperately to escape the molten wrath of the Burning Rider...
