The Man in the Woods

A chilling psychological novella with a dark twist

Cover of The Man in the Woods by Steve Griffin.

A boy alone in the woods. A stranger on the path. A moment that changes everything.

On a quiet winter’s afternoon, a young boy cycles into the woods — a place he knows well, a place that should feel safe. But when he encounters a lone wanderer among the trees, something shifts. Something subtle. Something wrong.

What happens next will echo far beyond the forest’s edge.

As the story unfolds, the truth becomes darker, stranger, and more unsettling than anyone could imagine. Because sometimes the scariest things aren’t ghosts at all — they’re the shadows we carry within us.
