Paperback. Some secrets should stay buried. But the Woods have other plans. In the mist-wrapped forest just beyond Portland, Oregon, something ancient stirs. A predator. A pattern. A past that's never stopped bleeding. When a string of ritualistic killings reawakens an old local legend, Detective POE is called in. He's a grizzled 20 year cop who suffers with PTSD. Former military and a man haunted by the ghosts. He still carries from both war and the streets. Poe didn't ask for the case. He doesn't want it. But no one can hunt monsters like he can. Not in a city where the weird wears a smile and the shadows watch from the trees. Dr Erica Ewing, a world traveled forensic psychologist, has finally found home in nearby St Helens, "Halloweentown". Drawn to Portland's electric pulse and provocative weirdness. But her fascination with the city's buried secrets soon drags her into a case that blurs the line between the clinical and the cursed. And then there's Sarah, a sharp young journalist with a taste for trouble, and a habit of digging too deep. Her investigation into the lunar linked murders puts her dangerously close to something ancient and hungry, and not everyone in the forest is ready to be found. As the trio's paths collide, a chilling tale leads them to the forgot ruins of the Witch's castle. Where folklore and fact bleed together and the full moon may shine light on horrors best left in the dark. Book 1 in a planned 13 book series. 13 chapters, and approx. 85-115 pages. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

About the Author
AV Styles is a genre bending storyteller with a taste for the strange, the eerie and the unapologetically real. Whether writing psychological thrillers, supernatural mysteries, or gritty young adult ventures. Styles always leads with emotion death in a raw edge of humanity.
Before diving into the world of fiction, Styles served in the US Navy. Later, building a career in technology, security and creative development. He's been a founding force behind A Storm is Coming LLC. Where he blends innovation, resilience, and storytelling under one mission; wake the world up.
Rooted in the eclectic vibes of Portland, Oregon, Stiles draws inspiration from the dark corners of forests, moonlit bridges and the secrets people keep. His characters are haunted, heroic, flawed and unforgettable--- Mirroring the world we live in and the one we hope for.
When he's not writing, Styles builds AI agents and dabbles in ethical hacking at his website, or simply watches the storms roll in with the love of his life and their adorable King Charles Cavalier; Monroe.
You'll find his fingerprints in every paragraph and if you're lucky, a message just for you.
