As soon as her mother goes missing and the only clue pointing to her whereabouts is her search history, Elise Newman has packed her bag and boarded the first flight to Japan. Having both lost somebody, Elise fears for her mother's safety and for her own sanity, and avoids what it would mean if her speculations were correct. She doesn't think; she just goes, goes to one of the last places her parents had been happy: a breathtaking forest, also renowned for its high mortality rates.

In the heart of an ancient forest, a young boy named Ethan vanishes without a trace, leaving his mother, Sarah, desperate and heartbroken. As she embarks on a harrowing search through the dark woods, she uncovers chilling secrets that threaten not only her sanity but the very essence of her soul. Haunted by whispers of lost children and pursued by a malevolent entity known as The Hunter, Sarah discovers that the forest itself is alive with darkness, preying on her deepest fears. Every shadow holds a twisted reflection of the past, and as she fights to save her son, she must confront the terrifying truth of what lies within the woods. With the clock ticking and hope waning, Sarah unearths ancient rituals and protective charms, but the forest seems determined to keep its secrets buried. As she delves deeper into its nightmarish depths, she learns that love can be a beacon of light in the darkest of places-but it may not be enough to shield her from the horrors that lurk beyond the trees. In *Whispers of the Lost*, a mother's unwavering love is tested against the shadows of despair, as she race against time to rescue her son from the clutches of an unimaginable evil. Will she find Ethan before it's too late, or will she become just another lost soul in the dark?

That is, until she meets a mysterious stranger one night on a path that should have never been there in the first place. In that one act, Ariana's whole life is thrown into chaos and she's introduced to a world that she never knew could have existed.

One by one by WorthyReading

It wasn't very difficult to plan out my first victim. I watched them all day, studied their movements, listened to their conversations, and watched them fall asleep. The funny thing about it was that I was just a few feet away from them. But how could they have known? Why would they have to be scared for their lives when they were oblivious to how fast I could end them? When all goes wrong, nothing else can go right. A last week school field trip could cost you your life. But why think that way when the trip has yet to begin. When a group of five friends go on a school field trip to the woods, things seem normal until one of them goes missing.

SURVIVOR of the WOODS by dendrophile02

The Woods A family shattered into million pieces. First the mother Then the father Followed by the brother Who's left? The daughter...the pride...the halo....the last survivor of the family. Or maybe just a letdown. ....... To begin, this story is about Dorothea Woods, a lady who's been homeschooled her entire life, limited access to socialising and no one to share her pain with...her life gets into the palm of several individuals who she didn't enjoy as much. Until one in particular...Might SHE be the one saving her from collapsing like the rest of her family? Or just an infatuation? Maybe her life will never be the same after that first encounter. Two souls...so different... What awaits them? In short, it might be dangerous, wild and rare but at the same time delicate, explicit and passionate. But the adventure and journey might be worthwhile all the chaos for Dorothea.

These Hungry Dogs [sample] by donaturt

❝ beware of those who enter the forest. ❞ They are creatures that born from the sublime and haunt those who wrongs them. It was the written rule the Nascherein was built upon, but to Leon Kiesinger, it was much greater than the imperial soldiers could hold. Sheltered away from the war and its decaying matter, he finds himself unable to avoid death, his haunting dreams told him to follow it, to see where it would lead him to. But it comes with a price, something that calls for a ghost among trees. © arden reni 2017 ― Featured as 'Hot Off the Press' | 04.18.18 ― Wattys Longlist | 08.31.18

Chuuya x OC ~ Let the memories cry (Bungou Stray Dogs) by Usagi_chwan

Desperation sometimes leads human beings to make... Unlikely choices. Because, whatever we can say, there are paths that should never be taken. Even less when we have lost everything. But, ironically, isn't that the very reason for such a choice? As if, by desperately trying to find what we have lost, we were trying to condemn ourselves? Everything happens for a reason, after all. But once we cross the line, there is often no turning back. How far can the despair of a human being, who has lost everything, go...? How far can he continue to destroy himself, without even realizing it, even more than he already is...? Not having a past does not necessarily mean that we must condemn the future. It is still necessary to be able to understand it... and, above all, to want it. -------------------- English is not my first language, so it's possible that I made some mistakes in this book!
