● "● Beyond the highways and city lights lie forgotten places where old grudges fester, dark secrets are passed from generation to generation, and outsiders are rarely welcome. Deep in the mountains, forests, hollers, and farmlands, something waits in the shadows. Travelers become prey, families guard unspeakable traditions, and entire communities hide horrors that have endured for centuries. Ancient forces lurk beneath the wilderness, twisted killers roam isolated roads, and the land itself seems determined to consume anyone who dares enter." ― paraphrased/edited from this book's product page on Amazon.com as 2026-07-17.
