BEARWOLF
Blood Marks the Path It Walks
A Mythic Forest Horror Novel
by Allison Woods The more you want to kill it,
the worse your chances are.
When Ray Hall returns to the isolated forest town he once fled, he steps straight into a waking nightmare.
His brother has been torn apart by something no human could've fought-wounds so brutal Ray barely recognizes him. And the blood doesn't stop there. People begin to vanish. Bodies surface in pieces. With each passing day, the woods grow hungrier.
Something is moving out there-
too fast to outrun,
too silent to predict,
too ruthless to ignore.
As Ray searches for answers, he uncovers a legend he never knew he'd lived beside-a creature the old hunters once whispered about in fear:
the Bearwolf.
Born of cruelty.
A hunter that hunts the hunters.
A judgment that walks in fur and shadow.
Ray never believed the legend.
Not until the night it stepped out of the trees.
But the monster stalking the woods isn't the only threat closing in.
Gabe-once Ray's closest friend, now hollowed out by jealousy and obsession-begins to unravel in violent, unpredictable ways.
Ray finds himself trapped between a man slipping into madness and a creature drawn to cruelty.
And Lily, bound to both men by a shared past, is pulled into the deadly spiral none of them can escape.
As the Bearwolf circles closer, old wounds split open, buried sins claw to the surface, and the line between guilt and survival dissolves.
Because the Bearwolf does not kill at random.
It answers cruelty with cruelty.
BEARWOLF is a chilling blend of folk horror, emotional suspense, and primal fear-a tale about what hunts us in the dark... and what follows us long after we think we've escaped.
Something ancient walks the woods.
Something that smells blood-
and remembers every sin.
