A sensor picks up something on the northern border in
Minnesota, an area known for illegal border crossings in
the past. Resident Davis Holland, a U.S. Customs
and Border Protection agent, is contacted and asked to
investigate the nature of the crossing. Accompanied by
Sheriff Gil Ramsey, Davis enters the woods but what he
sees and experiences will forever change the way he views
the world. In fact, the events are unusual enough that
they attract the attention of cryptozoologist Richard
Severance. Richard reassembles the team from THE BEAST OF
BARCROFT as Lindsay Clark, Ben McKelvie, and Alex
Standingcloud are about to face the horror that lurks in
NORTHWOODS.
NORTHWOODS begins shortly after the events of THE BEAST
OF BARCROFT. While the tale itself stands on its own
merits, the character development and relationships were
firmly established in THE BEAST OF BARCROFT. However,
Bill Schweigart adds an additional layer of depth and
complexity to the already established relationships,
while introducing a new character to the mix that makes
it easy for a new reader to the series to easily jump
right in and enjoy NORTHWOODS.
I love all the reoccurring characters in NORTHWOODS as
well as our new character, Davis. I yelled at Bill
Schweigart on more than one occasion as every character
is in real jeopardy in NORTHWOODS. Events in NORTHWOODS
take some unsettling turns for our beloved characters,
particularly Ben. I can't help but love Ben—after
all,
he takes his cat, Gus, everywhere with him!
Bill Schweigart is quickly becoming one of my favorite
authors for crafting darned good monster horror stories!
One of the things I love best about Bill Schweigart's
books is that the monsters and supernatural entities
aren't something mundane. Instead, we get introduced to
some more obscure but oh so entertaining mythologies as
Bill Schweigart takes us into his scary world. I can't
wait to see what Bill Schweigart has in store for us
next!
Some borders should never be crossed. From the author of
The Beast of Barcroft comes a waking nightmare of a
horror novel that’s sure to thrill readers of Stephen
King and Bentley Little.
Ex–Delta Force Davis Holland, now an agent for the
Customs and Border Protection, has seen it all. But
nothing in his experience has prepared him for what he
and the local sheriff find one freezing night in the
Minnesota woods.
Investigating reports of an illegal border crossing, the
two men stumble across a blood-drenched scene of mass
murder, barely escaping with their lives . . . and a
single clue to the mayhem: a small wooden chest placed at
the heart of the massacre. Something deadly has entered
Holland’s territory, crossing the border from nightmare
into reality.
When news of the atrocity reaches wealthy cryptozoologist
Richard Severance, he sends a three-person team north to
investigate. Not long ago, the members of that team—Ben
McKelvie, Lindsay Clark, and Alex Standingcloud—were
nearly killed by a vengeful shapeshifter. Now they are
walking wounded, haunted by gruesome memories that make
normal life impossible. But there is nothing normal about
the horror that awaits in the Northwoods.
