The Thing in the Woods

By Harper Williams

An Illustrated Edition by Cinder Oracle, with artwork by Dahlia Sorn

A quiet town. A haunted forest. A doctor drawn into a mystery that claws at the edge of reason…

When Dr. Haverill leaves his New York practice for a peaceful Pennsylvania village, he expects quiet country life—not a rash of gruesome deaths and whispers of something monstrous lurking beyond the trees. The locals are afraid, but no one will speak plainly. As strange injuries mount and tension turns to terror, Haverill begins to suspect that the thing in the woods is not just real—it may be beyond anything science can explain.

Originally published in 1924, The Thing in the Woods is a forgotten gem of early 20th-century supernatural horror. This newly illustrated edition by Cinder Oracle features haunting black-and-white artwork by Dahlia Sorn, breathing eerie new life into Harper Williams’s atmospheric tale of paranoia, transformation, and the primal fear of what hunts in the dark.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Classic gothic horror and weird fiction
• Lycanthropy and creature lore
• Slow-burning suspense with literary style
• Illustrated editions of public domain classics

Rediscover a chilling story from the golden age of horror with a fresh artistic vision that lingers long after the last page.
