The Hollow Men Of Wychwood

Deep within the ancient woods of northern England lies Wychwood Forest, a place feared long before roads, churches, or villages were ever built nearby. For centuries people have vanished beneath its black canopy without explanation. Hikers disappear from marked trails. Search teams hear whistles drifting through the trees at night. Strange wooden effigies are found hanging from branches deep within the forest, each one carved to resemble the missing.
Forestry worker Daniel Mercer arrives at Wychwood believing it is simply another temporary job far from the ruins of his personal life. But when he begins hearing heavy footsteps circling his isolated cabin after dark, he quickly realizes the forest is hiding something ancient beneath its roots. As Daniel ventures deeper into Wychwood, he uncovers buried churches, underground tunnels filled with the missing, and terrifying creatures known only as the Hollow Men - faceless beings older than recorded history that wear human voices and memories like stolen skin.
But the deeper Daniel descends beneath the forest, the more Wychwood itself begins learning him. And once the forest knows your name, it never lets you leave. THE HOLLOW MEN OF WYCHWOOD is a dark and atmospheric horror novel filled with ancient folklore, isolated forests, buried horrors, and relentless psychological dread. Perfect for readers who enjoy folk horror, cosmic terror, creeping suspense, and bleak supernatural nightmares that linger long after the final page.
