Deep in Crooked Oaks Forest, where ancient trees block out the sun and locals whisper about missing hikers, something ancient hunts. When a teenage boy accepts a dare to spend one night among those gnarled trunks, he discovers why generations of townsfolk have given these woods a wide berth. Some dares aren't worth taking, and some forests are better left unexplored. But it may already be too late by the time he learns this lesson.
Coming face to face with a local legend is terrifying enough. Surviving it is another matter entirely.
