A dual-timeline horror novel about childhood rites and adult consequences in Pennsylvania woods.
Mock constructs a narrative that bridges two distinct eras to examine how past sins resurface. The 1977 timeline establishes the origin of the terror through a failed ritual by young friends. The 1995 timeline follows the brothers as they confront the aftermath with help from a New Orleans psychic. The plot hinges on an apocryphal prophecy that forces a return to the site of the original trauma. The story does not offer easy resolutions but rather focuses on the harrowing nature of facing what was left behind.
The narrative spans two specific periods, starting in the summer of 1977 and moving to 1995. It draws on Pennsylvania woodland folklore and New Orleans psychic traditions to ground its supernatural elements in real-world cultural contexts.
