The Thing in the Woods

Step into the shadowed heart of rural Pennsylvania, where superstition and science collide.

When Dr. Haverill, a young physician from the city, accepts a temporary position in a secluded village, he expects little more than a quiet country practice. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a world of whispered fears, unspoken secrets, and eerie happenings that all seem to point toward the mysterious Lessing family at “the Bend.”

As strange wounds, fearful villagers, and inexplicable events mount, Haverill struggles to reconcile his rational training with the creeping dread that something unnatural lurks just beyond the trees. The Thing in the Woods is a haunting exploration of isolation, hidden dangers, and the darkness that stirs when reason falters.

Perfect for fans of gothic mystery and early 20th-century suspense, Harper Williams’ unsettling tale invites you to question what lies behind the silence of the woods.
