Isolated locations
Paranormal attacks
Donโt go into the woods
Canโt escape
The feeling of being watched
Impulsive decisions
Vibes
A chill down your spine; the bitter taste of lies; blood-soaked skin; muffled voices; the smell of smoke; the stitch of longing; blank stares; dirt under your fingernails; shadows creeping in the woods; the fear of being alone: the bite of ice in the air; a prickle on the back of your neck; panic freezing your limbs
Everything ๐ฒTHEREโS SOMETHING IN THE WOODS๐ฒin one place.
This young adult fantasy has:
๐ฒIsolated Locations
๐ฒMonstrous Visions
๐ฒFamily Secrets
๐ฒGloomy Forests
