📝 Description: The Suicide Forest

Michael Richan’s The Suicide Forest continues his River series by exploring supernatural threats in Washington State. The narrative centers on Steven and Roy, who share a special ability with ten-year-old Robbie. Their grandmother, June, lives in a haunted Seattle home where ghostly attacks occur. Steven recognizes these events as more than simple hauntings and seeks help from Judith, an elderly eccentric woman. She guides the group toward a final confrontation in the dark clearing known as The Suicide Forest. The story moves from the domestic terror of June’s home to the isolated woods where desperation hangs heavy. Demons in this forest target those who wish to end their lives. The plot requires the characters to face an evil greater than any they have encountered before. Richan structures the tale around the progression from urban haunting to rural horror. This fifth installment in the series demands attention from readers interested in gothic fiction and supernatural suspense. It suits fans of haunted house tropes and demon lore. Those seeking lighthearted adventure or non-fiction will find little appeal here.
