Don't go into the dark woods - where the trees grow dense and the sunlight struggles to reach the underbrush . . .

Mare of Easttown meets The Outsider in this spine-tingling and twisty debut set in a small town deep in the Virginian woods.

Rachel Kennan knows the townspeople of Dahlmouth will never accept her as police chief. She's an outsider, she isn't part of the history of this tightknit, superstitious community in Virginia. She's faced the same hostility every day for three years, but she couldn't care less, because her son is dead. And it was her husband Finn and his drinking that caused the accident.

Rachel can barely look at Finn, despite all the pain she sees in him. Their family is falling apart. Their two daughters are the only things keeping Rachel and Finn together, but the girls have demons of their own . . .

Then, one day, Rachel is called out to a horrifying scene in the woods. A man has been nailed to a tree. Whatever happened to him is like nothing she's encountered before.

And now little Abby Grayson is missing. Rachel searches frantically, but before long more of Dahlmouth's children disappear. And soon, the locals' wariness turns to fear and contempt, and Rachel and Finn must rely on each other if they have any hope of getting what's left of their family through this . . .

Whispers in the Dark is a haunting debut horror and a disquieting exploration of grief, Appalachian folklore, and the terror of everyday domesticity, perfect for fans of Stephen King, We Used to Live Here, The Twisted Ones and The Whistling.©2025 Allison Gunn (P)2026 W. F. Howes Ltd.
