Deep in the woods, something watches...

When curious young cryptid-hunter Andy hears strange shrieks and sees a green glow outside his bedroom window, he does what any adventurous kid would: he grabs his gear and heads into the forest to find the legendary Mothman. But what begins as a late-night expedition quickly spirals into a surreal nightmare when Andy encounters something far more ancient—and far more dangerous—than any cryptid he's ever read about.

Told by the mysterious Professor Vesper around a campfire gathering of cloaked listeners, The Shadow Woods is a chilling middle-grade horror story for brave readers who love eerie adventures, paranormal mysteries, and the creeping dread of what lurks just beyond the tree line.

Perfect for fans of Goosebumps, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and strange tales whispered in the dark.

This short tale can be devoured in under 30 minutes—but the unease may linger much longer.
