It's easy to disappear in the vast Maine woods but it can be even harder to escape. A young boy, hidden from the world, is brutalized by the people closest to him. Time has stoked his rage and he has put a plan in motion to set himself free. But when an unknown woman is forced into his private hell, their only hope – their only chance – of surviving their tormentors is for him to find the courage to break free of the ties that bind. But even the best laid plans don't always work out. And sometimes, in the unforgiving forest of life, evil prevails.

Disturbingly excellent.
Debut author Michael Wood has written one of the most diabolical, twisted, and grisly horror stories I have ever read. From the first chapter I was on edge, just hoping the story wasn’t going to be as atrocious as I feared.
It was worse.
Aside from the hellacious events that spill across the pages, Wood’s writing is intense and smart and you want to keep reading just to see how it all turns out. Be warned, however: the setting–the chilling depths of the Maine woods–is enough to keep you from camping ever again.
If you love horror–and you really have to loooove horror–this book is for you.
