The hunger in the woods — Anne Griffin

Evelyn, a determined journalist, seeks a story in the isolated town of Hollow, only to plunge into a nightmare. In its ancient woods, something stalks—a creature known as The Rake. It preys on fear, mimicking voices and leaving behind horrors, including the chilling discovery of what grows within its victims. As the farmhouse becomes a fortress, Evelyn and her allies wage a desperate war against this entity. Even a successful strike proves fleeting, as its unearthly blue blood reveals a threat more profound than they imagined. They fight for their lives, but can they truly escape a horror that knows their fears, waiting, patient and hungry, to reclaim its dominion? Or will Hollow's terrifying grip never release its prey, leaving a new, horrifying legacy to awaken in the dark?
