When the Woods Grow Quiet

Some legends are told to entertain. Others are told to keep people alive.

Deep in the pine forests, forgotten swamps, and lonely backroads of the American South, there are places where the woods seem to breathe, where strange lights flicker between the trees, and where something always seems to be watching from just beyond the firelight.

Few who wander too far ever return unchanged.

In this haunting collection, bestselling Southern storyteller Randall Lane journeys into the darkest corners of Southern folklore, where ancient creatures, whispered legends, and unexplained mysteries refuse to stay buried.

Inside these pages you'll encounter:

• A hunter who discovers he's not alone in the Carolina wilderness.
• Forgotten trails where people vanish without a trace.
• Moonlit forests haunted by creatures older than memory.
• Werewolves stalking lonely backroads.
• Ancient cryptids hidden beneath the pines.
• Small towns where every legend contains a grain of terrifying truth.
• And ordinary people forced to confront things that should never exist.

Drawing from Southern folklore, Appalachian legends, and the timeless fear of what waits just beyond the trees, When the Woods Grow Quiet is a chilling collection of atmospheric horror, supernatural suspense, and Southern Gothic storytelling.

Because sometimes...

When the woods grow quiet... something else has started listening.
