About this ebook

A forest of blood and corpses. The land of a cold-blooded psychopath.

In Black River Forest, it’s best not to wander too far off the beaten track. There’s no telling what you might find.

Mia and Oliver have long wanted to explore the forest, and one cold, rainy October day, a week before their fifth anniversary of the day they met, they finally make the trip.

But they’ve heard the rumors as well. The haunting. A psychopath hidden somewhere amidst the towering trees. Too many missing. Too few answers.

It’s only rumors, though. Stories. And stories can’t hurt you. Yet as Mia and Oliver venture deeper into the Black River Forest, they’ll soon discover that there’s more haunting this quiet woodland than hikers and bears.

The psychopath is very real. And he’s excited to meet them.

From Jaydeep Shah, author of Tribulation, the first book of the Cops Planet series, “The Haunting of Black River Forest” is a bloody, spine-chilling story best read with the lights on.

Ratings and reviews

When a young couple make a bad decision to go hiking along a very scary trail, things are set up. Oliver has a feeling and that is when I heard myself say out loud, “go back”. From there everything takes off. Oliver and Mia meet others in the forest that brings a bit of relief. At first, things seem normal enough and they start to think, they all are over thinking the horrific rumors they have heard. When they witness the terror for themselves, everything intensifies with a river of blood and gore. If you enjoy slasher movies such as Scream, Halloween or Chainsaw Massacre, this will be a perfect read for you and it is short. I read it in an evening. Even so, the short story is packed with fright! Haunting of Black River Forest is terrifying, bone chilling and bloody gross. With all of that, there is an emotional adrenaline that finally breathes life into the protagonist. Haunting of Black River Forest is a great read for spooky season, absolutely, providing that bone chilling feeling I seek when picking up a horror. I loved reading this horror and highly recommend to horror fans and those that enjoy terrifying reads with graphic details of blood and gore.
