When grief-stricken Leah Cartwright flees the city for a secluded cabin in the Appalachians, she hopes the silence of Gravel Hollow will help her heal. Instead, she finds a town steeped in secrets, where every clapboard house and whispering pine seems to guard something ancient. A chance discovery-a grave encircled by stones carved with strange symbols-pulls Leah into the heart of a buried history.
As she digs deeper, she uncovers a chilling legacy: generations of disappearances, a powerful family's grip on the land, and whispers of a pact older than the town itself. But some truths were meant to stay hidden. Threatened by locals and hunted by forces that thrive in the mountain's shadows, Leah must choose: abandon the investigation, or risk becoming Gravel Hollow's next unsolved mystery. Haunting and atmospheric, Gravel Hollow is a slow-burn thriller laced with Appalachian folklore and creeping dread.
Perfect for fans of The Only Good Indians and Pine, it asks how far you'd go to expose the darkness lurking beneath a picturesque town-and whether the land itself might be watching.
