Enter a world of cursed forests, ancient creatures, body horror, and psychological dread.
The forest heard her prayers. Something answered.
Olivia and James are running out of time. Years of failed pregnancy tests have hollowed out their marriage, replacing intimacy with routine and hope with resentment. In a last attempt to save what’s left of their relationship, they take a hiking trip deep into an isolated forest where folklore warns of the knotjacks, twisted creatures said to steal women and trap travellers beneath the trees forever.
During a night fuelled by strange mushrooms and buried despair, Olivia wanders alone into the woods and witnesses something she can’t explain. She returns home shaken, uncertain of what was real and terrified of what may have happened to her.
Then the impossible happens. Olivia’s pregnant.
To James, it feels like a miracle. To Olivia, it feels like a nightmare beginning to grow inside her. As her body changes and her grip on reality starts to fracture, she becomes convinced that whatever she encountered in the forest followed her home.
And it isn’t finished with her yet.
Children of Ash is Book 8 in The Devil’s Ledger series. Perfect for readers who love folk horror, gothic suspense, supernatural thrillers, cursed folklore, and psychologically dark horror in the vein of Joe Hill, Dot Hutchison, and Grady Hendrix.
