“The way Jonas built up the atmosphere of menace to an all-encompassing evil is frightening and shocking. The magnitude, the scale of badness, blew me away.” —Liz Nugent, author of Strange Sally Diamond.
Nothing escapes. Not even time…
Something is wrong in the deep woods of Oregon.
Horribly, unnaturally wrong.
For decades, people have vanished without a trace—tourists, locals, even law enforcement. The few bodies recovered are unrecognizable: aged decades in days. The government sealed the area with barbed wire and silence. No answers. No access.
But when four strangers miss their train and stumble into the forest looking for shelter, they find more than ruins and old bones. They find what the government tried to bury.
And then one of them disappears.
The others want out. Now. But the forest isn’t letting them go. Something ancient lives beneath the canopy. It watches. It listens. It waits.
It knows their fears. It knows their weaknesses.
And it’s been hungry for a long, long time.
You don’t just get lost in these woods.
You get devoured.
