The Crying Forest

A tale of murder and magic, dark desires and the even darker cost of their fulfillment. In 1940s Australia, a European witch named Agata Rosso believes a young girl, Lia Munro, possesses special gifts that can restore her youth and vitality, as well as that of her ailing husband.

Set against the backdrop of a remote Australian community haunted by secrets and folklore, The Crying Forest is a gripping folk horror story that combines elements of crime fiction and the occult. It explores themes of family, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil, drawing readers into a world teeming with ghosts, shapeshifters, and profoundly human evil.
