Publisher's Synopsis
Hunger in the Woods
A chilling tale where nature fights back.
Deep in the remote wilderness of Vancouver Island, ancient trees stand as silent witnesses to centuries of secrets. When a ruthless clear-cutting operation desecrates sacred Indigenous land, something primal awakens-something that remembers. The Wendigo, a malevolent spirit born of greed and hunger, stirs from its slumber, seeking vengeance not just for the forest, but for the souls stolen by humanity's endless consumption.
As loggers vanish and the forest seems to turn against them, survivors confront a horrifying truth: the land they're destroying is fighting back. Shadows stretch longer, whispers echo through the trees, and an oppressive silence suffocates any hope of escape. Caught between man-made destruction and an ancient force of nature, they must face a chilling question-do they deserve to survive?
But the forest holds deeper secrets. A revered elder, once seen as a guide, reveals a terrifying betrayal that blurs the lines between protector and executioner. Is her sacrifice a final plea to save the land, or a harbinger of humanity's ultimate doom?
Hunger in the Woods is an atmospheric horror novel exploring the devastating consequences of environmental destruction, colonial greed, and the dark, vengeful power of nature. Fans of supernatural horror and eco-thrillers will be left haunted by this gripping tale of survival, guilt, and the price of hubris.
