Nohae Stories

Returning to Blackwood was never part of the plan. After the death of their friend Jasmine, Cassius spends four days in Blackwood for the funeral before returning to the city, eager to leave the town behind. When an invitation to reunite arrives weeks later, he reluctantly agrees. What should have been a simple reunion quickly becomes something else. The forests surrounding Blackwood seem larger than they should. Darker. The kind of place where the silence feels wrong, where unfamiliar shapes linger between the trees, and where every path looks different on the walk back. Being trapped with someone he can barely tolerate only makes things worse. Still, Cassius tells himself there's nothing to worry about. After all, forests are just forests. Aren't they? HOLLOWED is a YA queer horror novel featuring a slow-burn M/M with no HEA, psychological horror, unsettling mysteries, paranoia, a haunting forest, and brief body horror.
