Dead Forest: A Horror Story

by Will Hawthorne

There is something lurking in the forest.

After the death of his older brother, Jack Hadley moves to a remote cabin in the Oregon wilderness to spend his time in mourning. Surrounded by forest, the closest house is over a mile away, and Jack thinks he is in complete seclusion.

When he returns home to the cabin one day to find a crude symbol drawn on his front door, he doesn't know what to think. Out here he is all alone - he thinks.

But something is lurking in the forest, a creature waiting in the dark, something conjured up from the darkness of his nightmares... And it's watching him.

Includes a bonus, 2000-word short story, 'Incarnations of Impossible Men', that inspired Dead Forest.

Dead Forest is a one-off short horror story by Will Hawthorne, author of The Haunting of Layton Manor.
