APPALACHIAN HORROR - Whisper Trail

A Folk Horror Novel of Cosmic Dread and Occult Mystery

Four friends, a remote mountain trail, a weekend escape from the noise of the modern world. For Owen, it was a chance to prove his meticulous planning could conquer any wilderness. For the others, it was a much-needed adventure. But these ancient mountains hold a silence that is not empty, and a hunger that is patient.

When the trail disappears, the compass spins wildly, and the sun rises in the wrong sky, their seventy-two-hour trek becomes an endless nightmare. They are not just lost. They are being hunted by the forest itself—a conscious, malevolent entity that feeds on their fear and twists reality into a terrifying maze.

Their only clue is a forgotten journal filled with the ravings of a long-dead cult leader who worshipped the terrible, singing void at the heart of the woods. As sanity frays and friendships shatter, they discover the horrifying truth: the only way out is to become part of the mountain's eternal, hungry chorus.
