Romero Archival Collection, novelist Daniel Kraus turned up a surprise: a half-finished novel called \u003ci\u003ePay the Piper\u003c\/i\u003e, a project few had ever heard of. In the years since, Kraus has worked with Romero's estate to bring this unfinished masterwork to light. \u003cbr\u003e Alligator Point, Louisiana, population 141: Young Ren?e Pontiac has heard stories of \"the Piper\"--a murderous swamp entity haunting the bayou--her entire life. But now the legend feels horrifically real: children are being taken and gruesomely slain.
