Backwoods

Beyond the highways and city lights lie forgotten places where old grudges fester, dark secrets are passed from generation to generation, and outsiders are rarely welcome. Deep in the mountains, forests, hollers, and farmlands, something waits in the shadows.

In these chilling tales, travelers become prey, families guard unspeakable traditions, and entire communities hide horrors that have endured for centuries. Ancient forces lurk beneath the wilderness, twisted killers roam isolated roads, and the land itself seems determined to consume anyone who dares enter. Here, help is miles away, escape is never certain, and every wrong turn can become your last.

From cursed Appalachian valleys and remote Ozark towns to forgotten forests and desolate plains, some of horror's darkest nightmares emerge from places untouched by the modern world. The monsters of the backwoods are many-some human, some not-but all are deadly.

Featuring an unforgettable lineup of horror authors, Backwoods explores the terror that thrives far from civilization, where the trees grow thick, the roads disappear, and the screams go unheard.

Because out here, you're on their land.
