The Woods Are Always Watching

**The New York Times bestselling author of There’s Someone Inside Your House returns with a gut-wrenching horror story about friendship, survival, and navigating unmarked paths even as evil watches from the shadows.

“Twisty and dark, this intense, character-driven YA horror is like Wild by Cheryl Strayed meets Stephen King.”—BuzzFeed

“Survival novels are my idea of true horror and Perkins delivers.”—Book Riot

Bears aren’t the only predators in these woods.

Best friends Neena and Josie spent high school as outsiders, but at least they had each other. Now, with college and a two-thousand-mile separation looming on the horizon, they have one last chance to be together—a three-day hike deep into the woods of the Pisgah National Forest.

Simmering tensions lead to a detour off the trail and straight into a waking nightmare . . . and then into something far worse. Something that will test them in horrifying ways.
