West Texas has always held its secrets. The oil fields stretch across the landscape like veins beneath dry, cracked skin. By day, it’s a place of sweat and survival. By night, something else roams the grounds—something ancient and hungry (At least that’s what the legends say).
In West Texas Shadow Walkers: The Cryptid Invasion, author Pat Beason dives deep into the dark corners of the Texas terrain, bringing to life a chilling action-horror story where cryptid creatures rise from the shadows, preying on oil field workers and threatening to consume everything in their path.
Step into this full-throttle adventure suffused in Native American history and spine-snapping terror.
The Oil Fields Turn Red
At first, the disappearances went unnoticed. After all, these were men without family ties—hardworking laborers sleeping in trailers, forgotten by the world. When they vanished, there was no one to ask questions.
That is, until retired Air Force Captain and his K9 companion, Jerry Lee, stumbled across the remains that no animal or man could have left behind. A bloody skull and a spine, left in the dust like a calling card. Something wasn’t right. And whatever it was, it wasn’t human.
Cryptid Creatures with a Sinister Appetite
The creatures that crawl through Beason’s pages are strategic, violent monsters, locked in a brutal war for dominance. They slip through thin air, tear through flesh, and battle one another for the sick thrill of feeding.
However, they weren’t prepared to meet resistance.
The Captain, Jerry Lee, and a tight-knit group of defenders take up arms against this invasion. And when firepower alone isn’t enough, they dig deeper into the land’s spiritual history, where ancient forces may hold the key to stopping the nightmare.
A Woman Caught in the Crossfire
Then there’s Ingrid—a sharp, striking blonde with a presence that turns heads. She’s not just caught in the middle of the conflict. She becomes part of it. A Navajo shaman chooses her, dragging her into the cryptid world where she’s destined to rule over the very creatures that are tearing West Texas apart.
But will she fight the pull of the darkness, or embrace the power that comes with it?
West Texas Shadow Walkers is fast-paced, brutal, and full of unpredictable turns. It’s for fans of horror fiction who love military precision, monster mayhem, and characters who shoot first and ask questions later, or never.
This story is also inspired by Native American history, incorporating ancient legends and spiritual forces that have long watched over the land. Beason skillfully blends cultural mythos with modern-day horror to remind us that the past isn’t dead—and in some cases, it was never human to begin with.
If you’re a fan of books like The Terror by Dan Simmons or Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, but with more gunfights and cryptid carnage, this one’s for you.West Texas Shadow Walkers: The Cryptid Invasion is available now on Amazon.
