Fear wears many skins.
Deep within the Canadian wilderness, people have been disappearing for over a century. There is a place the locals call "the Devil's Woods," but to speak of it will only bring the devil to your door. It is a place so evil that even animals avoid it.
When their father's expedition team goes missing, Kyle Elkheart and his brother and sister return to the abandoned Cree First Nation reserve where they were born. Kyle can see ghosts that haunt the woods surrounding the village-and they seem to be trying to warn him. The search for their father will lead Kyle and his siblings to the dark heart of the legendary forest, where their mission will quickly become a fight for survival.
Review :
"Brian Moreland's fiction is taut and spellbinding, often blending varied themes to form a dark genre very much his own. From his WWII occult thriller Shadows in the Mist, to the haunting chiller The Devil's Woods, Brian's work is at once versatile, original, and deeply engaging."
--Greg F. Gifune, author of The Bleeding Season
"The Devil's Woods is an awesome horror novel, filled with nerve-wracking suspense and thrilling action!"
--Jeff Strand, author of Wolf Hunt
"In Dead of Winter, Brian Moreland showed why he's one of the strongest new forces in horror fiction. In The Devil's Woods, he proves he's as versatile as he is talented. The Devil's Woods is fantastic--a terrifying and emotionally-involving read from cover to cover."
--Jonathan Janz, author of The Sorrows and House of Skin
"Brian Moreland has created a new horror classic bursting with bloodshed, chaos, and truly disturbing creatures. Prepare to travel down a dark, terrifying, and twisted path that is The Devil's Woods. Backwoods horror at its finest!"
--David Bernstein, author of Damaged Souls and Amongst the Dead
"Reading anything by Brian Moreland makes me understand how much harder I have to work as a writer to generate the level of chills he can deliver."
--Kristopher Rufty, author of The Lurkers and A Dark Autumn
"The Devil's Woods is a force of nature. A complex, chilling foray into the darkness of a forbidden land, and man's tortured soul."
