Reader, be warned: Chickens are deadly. Each year, chicken consumption threatens over a million people. Harry Peck is an unfortunate, well-meaning young fellow who kills a chicken at the urging of his uncle, a farmer. But Harry does not know his family's weird history or that the spirit of the fowl beast would start scratching at the floorboards, the clucking coming from the darkness. As the haunting worsens, it becomes clear that the chicken wants vengeance. Harry finds himself relying on the mysterious and handsome Vegan Shaman to survive.
