I'll Make a Spectacle of You - Beatrice Winifred Iker - Run for It

''Zora Robinson is an ambitious grad student at her dream program, the Appalachian Studies department at Bricksbury University. When her thesis advisor suggests she research the local folklore about a beast roaming the woods surrounding campus, Zora finds a community uneager to talk to an outsider. As she delves into the history of the beast, she uncovers a rumored secret society called the Keepers that has ties to the beast...and Bricksbury itself. Zora soon finds herself plagued by visions of the past, and her grip on reality starts to slip as she struggles to uncover what is real and what is folklore. But when a student goes missing, Zora starts to wonder if the Keepers ever really disbanded. There's something in the woods, and it has its eyes on Zora''-- Provided by publisher.
