Wékaru

Ten strangers. Thirty days. One island that was never meant to be found. When a French reality show drops ten contestants on a remote island off Papua New Guinea, they think they're competing for fame and a cash prize. Cut off from the world, armed with nothing but their wits and a satellite phone that won't unlock for two weeks, they're ready to face hunger, exhaustion, and each other. But Wékaru keeps a secret the producers never put in the contract.
Forty years ago, the islanders executed their witch doctor and left his body to rot without rites. Something came back. Something that hunts in the dark, wears the faces of the dead, and is always, always hungry. As night falls and the cameras keep rolling, the game becomes a desperate fight to survive until dawn. One by one, the contestants disappear into the jungle. And the thing in the trees is learning their voices.
No rescue is coming. No one even knows they're dying. Wékaru is a relentless survival-horror novel for readers who like their terror remote, primal, and impossible to switch off.
