The Seventh Howl

By Stacey Miller

A Michigan Dogman Novel

Something is hunting the forests of northern Michigan.

When Evan Mercer returns to the isolated town of Black Pine, he expects paperwork and closure-not whispers of a creature that walks like a man and howls like something ancient. But when livestock are slaughtered, hunters vanish, and the woods fall unnaturally silent, Evan is pulled into a nightmare rooted in real local legend.

Every ten years, the howls return.

Seven nights.
Seven warnings.
One transformation.

As the cycle begins again, Evan discovers the truth buried beneath decades of disappearances and official cover-ups: the Dogman is not just a monster-it is a curse that must be passed on to survive. When his sister Rachel becomes the next marked victim, Evan is forced into a desperate race against time to stop a ritual older than the town itself.

But some horrors cannot be destroyed.

They can only be inherited.

Dark, atmospheric, and relentlessly tense, The Seventh Howl blends Midwest folklore, folk horror, and survival terror into a chilling story of sacrifice, family, and the price of breaking ancient cycles.

Perfect for fans of creature horror, small-town dread, and cryptid legends.

Once the seventh howl sounds...
The forest chooses its voice.
