Enter His Forest
The Bleeding Woods
Flee The Dark... or Embrace It?​
In this chilling debut horror novel, a young woman discovering dangerous new powers finds herself lost in the Appalachian Mountains with her first love, the sister she betrayed, and an infatuated stranger bound to her telepathically as a string of vicious murders taints the woods red.
Clara Lovecroft didn’t mean to kill her parents.
She was fourteen when it happened. Something inside her had awoken, something terrible and dangerous that Clara’s kept at bay with pills ever since. Not that her sister, Jade, will ever forgive her for what happened. Not that Clara will ever forgive herself.
​
Nearly a decade later, on the anniversary of their parents’ deaths, Clara joins Jade, their childhood friend, Grayson, and his younger brother, Joey, on a weekend getaway to repair their broken relationship. The spontaneous road trip stalls when their car breaks down, stranding them in Blackstone Forest—a place deeper and darker than anyone can imagine. Here, the forest whispers, and within its haunting foliage, a strange man waits for Clara among the trees, their destinies rooted in death.​
He would die for Clara. In fact, he would kill for her.
​
Before the weekend is over, blood will spill in Blackstone Forest. When it does, Clara will have to face the irresistible stranger in all his terrifying glory. She’ll also discover the truth about their shared pasts. Like the forest itself, it’s monstrous.
The Duffer Brothers’ Stranger Things meets Caroline Kepnes’s You in a story where a young woman’s fight for redemption lands her in a forest ruled by a creature isolation has turned evil, a creature who lusts for her heart.
Also inspired by the atmospheric horror of The Blair Witch Project and the dark, lovesick yearning of Erik in The Phantom of the Opera, The Bleeding Woods aims to spellbind and terrify its reader in the same whisper-laced breath.
