The Woods God Secrets: Mysteries of Van Laar

By: Ryan Stones

"The Woods God Secrets: Mysteries of Van Laar' is a haunting and suspenseful journey into a world where dark family legacies, forgotten folklore, and buried secrets collide. In the summer of 1975, Barbara Van Laar vanishes from her family's prestigious Adirondack summer camp, her disappearance echoing the chilling case of her brother David, who vanished without a trace fourteen years earlier. As a frantic search sweeps through the dense, foreboding forest, the town's tight-knit community is thrown into turmoil. Old wounds are reopened, and whispers of a curse tied to the Van Laar dynasty begin to take root.

Beneath the family's fa ade of power and privilege, sinister secrets stir, secrets entwined with the eerie legend of the Wood God, a mythical figure said to guard or curse those who tread too deep into the woods. As investigators dig into the Van Laar family's history, shocking revelations come to light, scandals and betrayals that stretch back generations. The community that once revered the Van Laars is left to question their own role in the darkness that has long festered beneath the surface.

With each passing day, the line between myth and reality blurs, and the investigation grows more desperate. Eerie occurrences and strange sightings make some believe there is more than human hands at play, and the Van Laar family's iron grip on the town begins to crumble under the weight of its secrets. As accusations fly and loyalties fracture, no one is safe from suspicion, not even those closest to the investigation.

When the shocking truth behind Barbara and David's disappearances is finally revealed, it comes at a cost far greater than anyone could have imagined. The final pages crackle with tension, as the explosive revelations bind twisted folklore, family curses, and generational guilt into one haunting conclusion.

"The Woods God Secrets: Mysteries of Van Laar' is a dark, atmospheric tale where the past never stays buried, and the echoes of long-forgotten sins can still be heard in the whispering woods. Suspenseful and deeply unsettling, this novel explores the haunting price of secrets, the weight of legacy, and the shadows that lurk behind every closed door.
