About the book

Welcome to Wolf Mountain.

It’s been twenty years since a tragedy shattered their tight-knit circle of friends. Now, Joe Garner wants to bridge the divide. He books a remote getaway at Briarwood Lodge, hoping a weekend of beer, nostalgia, and mountain air will heal old wounds.

But the silence of Wolf Mountain is a lie.

Decades ago, these woods were the hunting grounds of Victor Blackwell, a sadistic killer who carved a legacy of blood into the town of Crowfall Creek. That is, until the townsfolk exacted their own brutal, vigilante justice. They thought they buried the evil with the body.

They were wrong.

As the sun sets, the cabin begins to wake. The television broadcasts screams from the past. The floorboards weep black ichor. And in the treeline, something is watching, waiting for the lights to go out.

What starts as a trip to reconnect quickly spirals into a claustrophobic nightmare of survival. The soil here is sour, the history is alive, and the thing wearing Victor Blackwell’s face has returned to finish his masterpiece.

Don’t worry about the check-out time. You won’t be leaving.
