Description
After years of doing everything “right” to survive—college, an office job, and a paycheck that barely holds—Lou takes one last appraisal assignment in the rural hills of Ohio, desperate to keep her life from slipping out from under her. When her truck is sabotaged and she’s left alone with her dog and a growing sense of being watched, the ancient Appalachian woods begin to feel less like scenery and more like a predator with patience. As the stalking tightens, Lou must confront what it really means to be prey: not just in the dark, but in the systems and people that quietly chew through her confidence and choices. Blending folk horror with sharp, dark humor and escalating dread, this debut delivers a bite-back story about agency, survival, and the hunger—human and otherwise—that wants you to stay small.
