The Path Last Travelled

On the one-year anniversary of his father's death, Alastor Samuels sets out to prove himself-by venturing into the dense, unforgiving wilderness of Idaho's Salmon-Challis Forest Reserve, where he camped with his father as a child. To Alastor, it seems like the perfect place for a man desperate to prove his strength-both to himself and to the ghost of a father that still taunts him from beyond the grave. But a forest is like life, it's easy to get lost.

Obsessed with perfection and self-control, Alastor believes that surviving alone in the wilderness will be his ultimate test of endurance. But when he becomes lost, the forest reveals more than physical challenges. In the suffocating silence of the wilderness, where every snap of a twig feels like a threat, Alastor must face the truth about himself as his pride, his ego, and his deepest fears all come to life around him. As his grip on reality slips, he must confront the possibility that he may never make it out alive.

In this dark and suspenseful walk through the woods, The Path Last Travelled explores the haunting impact of an unresolved past, the weight of unspoken expectations, and the struggle to let go. The deeper Alastor goes, the darker the path becomes-and the more he realizes that some demons can't be escaped, only faced.
