DOGMAN - They Built The Fence For a Reason

A Deep Woods Cryptid Conspiracy and Monster Thriller

They bought the land to hide a secret. They didn’t realize they were building a cage.

Dr. Lena Mercer’s career as a predator biologist was destroyed by corporate lies. Now, desperate for cash, she accepts a highly suspicious $200,000 contract from the Caledonia Terra Trust to conduct a wildlife survey at their flagship property, the hyper-exclusive Black Pine Preserve.

The pristine, heavily guarded forest is supposed to be a triumph of ecological restoration. But the perfect data is a lie.

When a local maintenance worker is violently killed, Lena uncovers the terrifying truth buried beneath the forest floor. Black Pine isn't a sanctuary; it's a massive, open-air containment facility for an ancient, hyper-intelligent apex predator. And the wealthy donors funding the preserve aren't just protecting the beasts—they're worshiping them.

When a catastrophic security failure plunges the compound into darkness, Lena and a small group of terrified individuals are trapped inside the perimeter with a coordinated pack of genetically perfect nightmares.

To make it through the night, they must descend into the forgotten, blood-soaked service tunnels of the facility, hunted every step of the way by an alpha that is learning, adapting, and hungry.

If you love claustrophobic tension, terrifying apex predators, and fast-paced action, this book will keep you out of the forest forever.
