The Things You Will Never Know
If you go down to the woods today... Well, in this town, you probably won't come back. Unexplained deaths and disappearances are normal around here. In Haltonshaw Grove, we tell these real life horror stories to our kids like bedtime tales. They help us learn from a young age to stay out of the forest after dark. But one halloween, we didn't listen- Me and four boys. We broke the rules and we paid the price. We barely made it out alive and now we live with the trauma, the nightmares, the memories. Seven years later, the events of that night, like most things tend to do around here, have come back to haunt us. We never talked about the night we ran in the forest, never spoke afterwards at all really, but now we're going to need each other if we're going to survive what's coming. Me and those boys I've loved all along. - - β - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our town is haunted. The five of us are cursed. And Halloween is just around the corner...

Known to most by the name of his powerful lineage, he soon finds that there's more to him than his family's fame, especially when a hidden curse-begins to shape his destiny. Though he's unaware of his connection to the stars, he finds comfort in their silent light. He's blind to the effects his presence has on those around him. People-his friends, his classmates, even some he considers rivals-seem to gravitate toward him without reason. They offer smiles that linger too long, glances that speak more than words, but he remains oblivious. To him, these connections are just part of being in a new place and world. But who is he really, beneath the shadow of his family's fame and the secrets they keep hidden? And what of the ancient curse that haunts his lineage? Why does he find comfort in the stars? Are the tales of his family's past true, or is there more lurking beneath? And finally, will he escape the destiny woven for him... or fulfill it? Read to uncover the truth. β¨ #1 winters (04.23.2025)
