The Winding (Paperback)

Paperback. Some places are older than memory-and they remember everything. Three friends reunite for a quiet weekend at a remote manor deep in the Scottish Highlands. The plan is simple: escape the city, reconnect, and enjoy the solitude. But when one of them unknowingly disturbs a sacred grove hidden in the ancient forest beyond the estate, something awakens-something that has slept for centuries. As the days pass, the house begins to shift. The woods grow too quiet. Shadows linger where they shouldn't. Each of them is targeted by terrifying visions and invasive compulsions, twisted reflections of their deepest fears and unspoken flaws. Nature turns against them. Deer wear the faces of the dead. Desperate and unraveling, they seek help from a reclusive local hermit who alone understands the ancient rites still binding the land. But the forces that have been disturbed are older than language-and they will not be appeased easily. THE WINDING is a chilling descent into folklore and psychological horror-a story about trespass, transformation, and the terrible price of waking what should have been left to rot.
