Ashwood Retreat

By Jaunzsen Ridgeley

Some secrets follow you.

Some wait for you to come back.

Marin Hale thought a weekend at Ashwood Retreat would fix everything - her stress, her insomnia, the strange memories she keeps trying to forget. Her best friends, Lena and Ava, promised her it would be fun. Relaxing. Safe. They were wrong.

From the moment the three arrive, the retreat feels... off. The doors won't stay locked. The cameras on the walls aren't listed in the rental description. And someone keeps leaving notes that none of them wrote. Marin tells herself it's just nerves. Just exhaustion. Just the forest playing tricks.

But Ashwood Retreat knows things about them it shouldn't know - things they've never told anyone. As the nights grow longer and the footsteps grow closer, Marin begins to realize they're not alone out here. Someone is watching. Someone is waiting. And someone wants her to remember a truth she has spent years trying to erase.

Because the scariest part of Ashwood Retreat isn't what's outside the cabin... It's what followed them inside.

A suspenseful, addictive psychological horror with sharp twists, buried secrets, and a final revelation you'll never see coming.

"Please enjoy your stay."
