After graduating high school, Wren is ready to leaver her small Texas town-- and it's ghost stories behind. But, when she accepts a dare to knock on the Old Alton Bridge at midnight, Wren unwittingly awakens something ancient and unnatural... she summons the Goatman. As Wren unravels the truth behind the Goatman legend, she discovers the curse isn't just a story. The Goatman is real-- and he's coming for her. ESCAPING GOATMAN is a haunting dual-timeline horror novella that weaves love, guilt, and generational trauma into the dark roots of Texas folklore. Perfect for fans of Jennifer McMahon, Simone St. James, and Southern Gothic horror.
