EVERGREEN

Gabby knows what it means to be alone.

Her posh, comfortable life has led her to an unlikely refuge: solo camping. It’s a controlled solitude—carefully planned, carefully executed—both calming and exhilarating, despite the quiet dangers of a woman traveling alone.

On one particular trip, deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, that isolation begins to fracture. Strangers appear where no one should be. Her solitude starts to bleed outward, splintering into something unstable. The woods seem to watch her back.

What begins as a simple plan to summit a peak and outrun a storm turns into a fight for survival, a psychological awakening, and a psychedelic revelation not only about who Gabby is, but what it is to be alive when the boundaries between us dissolve.

In his fourth novella, An Wo Long, master of neo-noir, takes a stark turn into the wilderness. He crafts a world where tension hides behind every tree, where race and hate move unseen beneath every interaction, where silence is more unsettling than violence, and where calm conceals truths far more bizarre than fear ever could.
