‘With every second I spent around these people, I was less concerned about otherworldly, unexplainable shit in the woods and way more concerned about the fucking monsters parading around town as humans.’

Everyone in Echo Rock, West Virginia knows there’s something out there. When you live in these mountains, you learn to accept the inexplicable things that are just part of life. To an outsider, though, finding a place within the secluded mountain town feels far more sinister than taking your chances with whatever lies beyond the edge of civilization.

After a string of unsolved disappearances spanning half a decade, U.S. Park Ranger Breylan Jones accepts a national park job in the wilds of West Virginia’s Appalachian Mountains. He knows it won’t be easy; the previous ranger to hold the position is among Echo Rock’s lengthy list of missing persons; all of whom are assumed dead from the elements, wildlife, or any number of phenomena making these particular mountains uniquely dangerous.

As the new Fed in town, Breylan has questions the locals seem to avoid answering. The more he learns about the missing, the less he understands the town’s complacency. They seem to have just accepted an evil entity in the woods has claimed their loved ones, leaving no hope of finding even a single person. But Breylan’s a man of logic and law. He’s unwilling to accept that something inhumane in the woods is to be blamed for the presumed deaths of countless people.

Convinced there’s no evil on the planet worse than man, Breylan ignores the town officials’ resistance and ventures beyond the borders of Echo Rock in search of answers. What he finds will bring him to the edge of his own sanity. Sometimes the truth is more damning than the worst lie.

Into Oblivion is a modernized retelling of the tale of Medusa. This standalone dark romance features a dual perspective and is intended for readers eighteen years of age and older. Trigger/content warnings can be found within the first pages of the book. Please read and understand them before venturing further.
