The Desert Knows
Justin, an ostracized screenwriter haunted by addiction and family tragedy, escapes to a remote Airbnb in the Yucca Valley, determined to write the script that will resurrect his career. Instead, he attracts the attention of something cruel, insatiable, and older than the land itself—an eldritch entity that feeds on the souls of the broken and the damned known as Immundus the Unclean.
Immundus: A Western Navajo Folktale, Remastered & Expanded Edition is a brutal, operatic descent into madness, myth, and memory. Fans of the original Kindle Select short story, which fused classic Navajo myth with chilling old world horror, hailed it as “terrifying,” “unforgettable,” and “a fantastic debut.”
In this definitive edition, Jack Chase expanded the world of the cult classic with several new chapters, a reimagined structure, and a devastating canonical ending that transforms the bite-sized modern folktale into a full-fledged literary nightmare.
