Description
By the time Ian sees the rope around his friend's neck, it's too late...
It's a harmless game in the woods. But then the Darkness comes.
Unnatural and without explanation, it's as terrifying to some as it is intoxicating to others. Scared and alone, Ian hides as his friends turn on one of their own: A cackle of hyenas separating the weakest from the clan. First comes the boy's pleading. Then the screams...
It's a nightmare that haunts Ian Cockerton all his life. Until a childhood friend comes to visit.
A dead childhood friend.
Because the woods can no longer hold the Darkness. And the nightmare that's chased Ian his entire life has just caught up to him...
Set in the 1970s & 1990s and inspired by real events, this award-winning supernatural horror novel is perfect for fans of retro coming-of-age thrillers like Stand By Me and Black Phone, or gothic horror stories like The Conjuring.
