...and Nobody Knows it but Me

Megan Stockton’s ...and Nobody Knows it but Me presents a slow-burn narrative centered on wildlife biologist Lakin Douglas. Following the death of his wife, Lakin accepts a position in Rotten Fork to investigate a rogue wolf attacking livestock. He initially suspects domestic dogs are responsible for the property damage. The situation shifts when human bodies begin appearing, suggesting a supernatural or criminal element rather than simple animal behavior. The novel intertwines this external investigation with Lakin’s internal struggle. He confronts the trauma of his recent loss while navigating the secrets of the small town. Stockton draws on traditions of gothic fiction and the supernatural to explore grief and isolation. The story focuses on the overlap between human dwellings and wild habitats, creating tension between the natural world and community safety. This book suits readers who enjoy atmospheric horror and character-driven mysteries involving wildlife. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or clear resolutions. Stockton qualifies as an author of supernatural fiction through her focus on psychological depth and eerie settings. The narrative avoids sensationalism, opting instead for a gradual unraveling of truth and emotion.
