Some secrets should stay buried. But the Woods have other plans. In the mist-wrapped forest just beyond Portland, Oregon, something ancient stirs. A predator. A pattern. A past that's never stopped bleeding. When a string of ritualistic killings reawakens an old local legend, Detective POE is called in. He's a grizzled 20 year cop who suffers with PTSD. Former military and a man haunted by the ghosts. He still carries from both war and the streets. Poe didn't ask for the case. He doesn't want it. But no one can hunt monsters like he can. Not in a city where the weird wears a smile and the shadows watch from the trees. Dr Erica Ewing, a world traveled forensic psychologist, has finally found home in nearby St Helens, Halloweentown. Drawn to Portland's electric pulse and provocative weirdness. But her fascination with the city's buried secrets soon drags her into a case that blurs the line between the clinical and the cursed. And then there's Sarah, a sharp young journalist with a taste for trouble, and a habit of digging too deep. Her investigation into the lunar linked murders puts her dangerously close to something ancient and hungry, and not everyone in the forest is ready to be found. As the trio's paths collide, a chilling tale leads them to the forgot ruins of the Witch's castle. Where folklore and fact bleed together and the full moon may shine light on horrors best left in the dark. Book 1 in a planned 13 book series. 13 chapters, and approx. 85-115 pages.
