Jody, a young boy, faces difficulties in forming friendships because his family frequently relocates and his parents are often preoccupied with their own lives. Upon arriving in a new neighborhood, he hears cautionary tales about the forest located behind his cul-de-sac. Driven by curiosity, he ventures into the woods and encounters a mysterious being that seeks his companionship. However, this bond carries unforeseen repercussions, setting the foundation for a compelling narrative centered on themes of isolation, the desire for connection, and the mysteries that lie ahead.

The author described this story as “different” and it certainly is that. It had some twists and turns I didn’t see coming. As horror this novella is rather lowkey. It doesn’t have many of the normal elements of the genre and an ending which becomes more horrific the more you reflect on it. I still found myself thinking about this story days after I read it, a good sign that an author has done a very good job.

Disturbing and weird

I am happy this was a short novella. It was dumb. Not really a horror genre, just odd. Not my cup of tea.

Received as a gift from Hidden Gems, what a strange story! Not exactly for the faint of heart!

This was a quick read. Different, not sure what else to say.
I was given a copy by Hidden Gems Books.
