In the Canadian wilderness, people have been disappearing
for many years. In a place called "The Devil's Woods" that
is not spoken of for fear of the evil coming to you. Even
the animals avoid it. Kyle Elkheart's father's team goes
missing, and he and his brother and sister must return to
the abandoned Cree Indian reservation where they were born
to find him. Kyle has the ability to see ghosts, and they
try to warn him, but he has to find his father. Kyle and his
siblings must venture into the Devil's Woods to find him,
but it quickly turns from a rescue mission into a fight for
their lives.
Native American myths, especially the more frightening ones,
have caught my interest for many years. Here we are given a
look at just what may be in the woods of Canada, and the
fear that comes along with it. The setting is hauntingly
beautiful and the plot is kept at a quick pace throughout. I
was impressed by the details provided from the author's
research into British Columbia and Native American myths. He
has obviously done his homework, as it shows on the pages in
the tight storytelling.
My emotions ran high during the
tense scenes and scary moments. I am drawn to horror tales
of what lurks in the woods, THE DEVIL'S WOODS sated my
interests.
Also, as a writer I am always interested when I read stories
about writers, and with main character, Kyle, being a
writer, my ears were already perked up. Author Brian
Moreland writes some amazing characters. Kyle was easily
likeable and very real. He's flawed, which is good, but he's
also got a great heart. His emotions, at times, were able to
bring mine out whether I wanted them or not. There are
monsters and ghosts in this tale, and both provide a host of
scares. If you've never had reservations about the
spookiness of dark woods, you will after reading THE DEVIL'S
WOODS.
Supernatural horror fans should check this one out.
Fear wears many skins.
Deep within the Canadian wilderness, people have been
disappearing for over a century. There is a place the locals
call “the Devil’s Woods”, but to speak of it will only bring
the devil to your door. It is a place so evil that even
animals avoid it.
When their father’s expedition team goes missing, Kyle
Elkheart and his brother and sister return to the abandoned
Cree Indian reservation where they were born. Kyle can see
ghosts that haunt the woods surrounding the village—and they
seem to be trying to warn him. The search for their father
will lead Kyle and his siblings to the dark heart of the
legendary forest, where their mission will quickly become a
fight for survival.
