Summary

More than three million acres of dense woodlands make up the North Maine Woods. There are no major towns. No public roads. Nothing but forest for as far as the eye can see.

When two marines and their corpsman reunite after a decade apart, they find themselves caught up in the mystery of their former squad leader’s disappearance. With little more to go on than a handful of disturbing charcoal sketches and the whispers of a local legend, they plunge into the depths of one of America’s last truly wild places.

But the trees themselves begin to whisper dark secrets. Secrets of trafficking and violence. Of rotten science and blood. Of something else that lurks in the shadows of the pines—something ancient, savage, and hungry.

Incredible writing - great narration.

What a story! Buy it now. Douglass Hoover has written a truly original novel that deftly blends the terror of war with the horror of the supernatural. The writing is sublime: perfect dialogue, fully living characters and great plotting. It’s masterful, somewhere between Karl Marlantes and Stephen King. I’m in awe.

Exceptional horror and a story of brotherhood

I don't often write a review- with over 300 titles in my audible library, it takes something special for me to bother writing a review.

this is something special.

i won't spoil the story other than to say what begins as a tale of old military colleagues reuniting slowly takes a turn into something much darker. i was hooked the whole way and was very sad to finish it. the narration is also excellent- which itself is very tricky to pull off.
