The Border — Amy Cross

When Ben Freeman returns to Bowley after years on the road, he knows he isn't welcome. His family fears him. The town despises him. But Ben hasn't come home for forgiveness… he's come for something far darker. Out beyond the fields lies a forgotten farmhouse, and beyond that… the Border. Now, something ancient has woken. A stag-headed man stalks the woods, stealing hearts for his gruesome collection. The ghost of a murdered girl whispers warnings no one wants to hear. As night falls over Bowley, the line between the living and the dead begins to tear – and Ben might be the one who ripped it open. The Border is a horror thriller about one man's search for the truth, and about a town that refuses to acknowledge the horror at its heart. This is the 2025 edition of the original 2015 book.
