Synopsis

"What kind of animal does something like this--eats the skin off a man leaves the meat?" Cavern City, Kentucky, is a nice place to take the kids in the summer. The caves are cool and only a little bit spooky, and the primitive drawings and Indian artifacts are real educational. Cutter was proud of his job; he loved guiding the tourists through the caves and telling the Indian legends over and over--until the day he slipped in a pool of slimy blood. Until the day the caves became a hell of decay and brooding menace, a fetid, gore-drenched void of evil. Until he came face to face with Flesh Stealer. The first victim managed to crawl outside the cave to die--skinned alive. Then the foul ancient horror went berserk. Cutter's landlady was flayed and left in a puddle of pulpy flesh. A little boy was next, the Cutter's good buddy. Then two teenagers. An unspeakable horror was loose in Cavern City. The streets were red with blood. Death was everywhere. And nothing could stop it...nothing...
