Bigfoot's Shadow in the Pines

By Tommy Marcum

Bigfoot's Shadow in the Pines - the forest remembers.
When ecologist Mara Wren arrives in the timber town of Alder's Hollow to catalog an old grove, she expects moss and silence. What she finds are eighteen-inch footprints leading away from a butchered deer, a line of ritual cairns hidden beneath moss, and a community that answers every question with a quieter question. The locals call it the Keeper. The old stories call it something older.

As fractures widen between superstition and science, Mara discovers that the creature prowling these pines is not a mindless predator - and the people of Alder's Hollow have kept it fed, feared, and bound for generations. When a harvest festival becomes a theatre of sacrifice, Mara must decide whether to stop what the town has always done - or become part of it.

Taut, elegant, and profoundly unsettling, Bigfoot's Shadow in the Pines is folk horror that forces you to choose a side in the woods. Read if you dare: the pines remember every step.
