Synopsis
Lainey Tuttle, an out-of-shape bowling alley bartender, is trying to get her life together when the unimaginable happens. Something took her best friend and fifteen others at Harlan, Indiana's lantern-lit Fright Night Trail Run near ancient Cherub Mounds, leaving forensics teams scratching their heads. Ideally, her retrocognitive abilities would help her uncover the truth, but she lost those talents after a head-cracking fall during that very race.
When authorities lock down the forest, mound site, and its museum, hindering Lainey's efforts, she finds only three people on her her eccentric archaeology professor, Clyde Duggard, local college wrestler Slim Dickens, and her dead father's ex-girlfriend, Harlan Police Officer Amy Hendershot, who she despises as much as the backwoods, hillbilly town of Harlan itself.
As Lainey strives to find what's causing more disappearances, her level of peril takes an incredible jump, and she finds herself not only face-to-face with a mysterious creature, but with her own redemption as well.

My Thoughts
The Harlan Artifact is a true genre-blender, mixing horror, paranormal, science fiction and even some historical fiction into this small-town thriller.
Lainey Tuttle is a bartender at a bowling alley, and she has a unique gift – retrocognition. She can see the past, and her visions are rarely positive or uplifting. When she goes on a charity run, the other runners disappear in the woods. The police are baffled, but she suspects that something sinister happened to them. And then the runners' severed body parts start showing up...
