The Woods That Never Let Go

The Forest Remembers What You Forget (The Haunted Chronicles)

When the woods call, will you answer?

Hope and her friends thought the stories were just old warnings—tales meant to keep curious kids from wandering too far. But when they step past the tree line, they discover something far more sinister than they imagined. The forest is alive, and it doesn’t want them to leave.

As whispers surround them and paths vanish behind their steps, time itself begins to twist. Friends disappear. Shadows stretch in impossible ways. The deeper they go, the more the woods seem to know who they are, and what they fear.

To escape, Hope must uncover the forest’s secrets before it takes everything from her… including herself.

This is a standalone novelette in The Haunted Chronicles series. Each story is written for young listeners and can be enjoyed in any order!
