Some silences are warnings.
Mara Cole is a child welfare assessor - a woman trained to speak, to coax, to draw the truth out of frightened people. When she's assigned to evaluate a remote Appalachian family who communicates only by chalkboard and refuses to make a sound, she assumes trauma. She assumes a cult. She assumes she's seen worse.
She hasn't.
Deep in Briar Hollow, the woods don't just hear you. They remember. And in the dark at the treeline, something is learning the sound of her voice - practicing it, perfecting it, growing more like her with every word she speaks.
The Kincaid family knows what she doesn't. They've been keeping their vow of silence for generations, and they are desperate for her to understand: every syllable she speaks in this hollow is feeding something she cannot see. Something patient. Something almost ready.
SILENCE is literary folk horror for readers who like their dread slow, their twists devastating, and their endings impossible to forget.
The hollow listens.
