Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees

Every Perfect Town Has Its Secrets. This One Has a Serial Killer.

Don’t. Murder. The locals.

Winner of the 2025 Harvey Award for Book of the Year, Patrick Horvath's acclaimed horror sensation blends the charm of a cozy woodland tale with the chilling tension of a psychological thriller.

Welcome to Woodbrook, a peaceful town where everyone knows their neighbors, life moves at a gentle pace, and nothing bad ever seems to happen. Samantha Strong couldn't be happier. She's a beloved member of the community, a successful hardware store owner... and a meticulous serial killer who carefully keeps her dark compulsions far away from home.

But when another killer arrives in Woodbrook and threatens the perfect life Samantha has worked so hard to maintain, she'll have to decide just how far she's willing to go to protect her carefully crafted world.
Equal parts unsettling, darkly funny, and impossible to put down, Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is an award-winning modern horror classic that has captivated readers with its unforgettable premise, stunning artwork, and razor-sharp storytelling.
