The woods remember what you did there.
October 1st.
That's when the woods open.
Appalachian horror, written from the hollow it grew up in.
Don't Read This in the Woods
Ten chapters, ten creatures. You were warned.
Ten strangers, ten stretches of Appalachian backcountry that shouldn't be walked alone. Whatever finds each of them was already there before they arrived, and it doesn't let go easy.

About Tyler
Tyler M. Rudd is an emerging voice in horror fiction hailing from deep in the Appalachian hills. His prose anchors itself in the Appalachian-noir style, merging evocative tension with a sharp, cinematic sense of terror.
Through the lens of the region's dense fog and jagged terrain, Rudd's first collection, Don't Read This in the Woods, uncovers the secrets buried in the brush. His stories offer a raw expedition into darkness, fusing a brutalist focus with a haunting, neo-noir sensibility.
What's past this book
There's more than one thing taking shape past these woods: another anthology already underway, and something else entirely that doesn't belong in the trees at all. Follow along below and you won't miss when either one surfaces.
