The Bleeding Season by Greg F. Gifune
Five childhood friends in a small coastal town are torn apart when Tommy is killed and, years later, Bernard commits suicide. When mutilated bodies are found, the three remaining friends try to solve Bernard's death and begin to suspect he was a ritual killer who bled young women. Their search forces them to confront a darkness so terrifying it could trap them in the shadows of the damned and shatter their concept of existence.
