Welcome to Cabin Green, where the setting is familiar, but the story is completely unexpected. This original, terrifying psychological thriller is the debut horror novel from the author of the Midnight Myths and Fairy Tales Series. Going to Cabin Green alone after the death of his fiancée was Ben's first mistake. His second mistake was tempting fate by saying, "There's no such thing as an evil building." Now he's caught in a nightmare of his own making deep in the woods of Northern Michigan. Even worse, a family history of mental illness makes it impossible for him to know if the ghosts haunting the cabin are real or all in his head. This modern Gothic horror story takes the reader directly into Ben's hellish experience. Is he crazy? Is a ghost haunting him? The only way to find out is to make it to the end of this deep, dark thrill ride that's filled with more twists than a roller coaster. This novel was inspired by a real-life, spooky green cabin in Northern Michigan that's so well-hidden it can't be found by GPS! Content Warning: This isn't a Saw-type torture story, but it does contain gore, sex, profanity, and deeply disturbing psychological themes. For mature readers only.

'This is crazy. I know I didn't hit anything.' Another part of his mind refuted this logic. 'Then why am I crawling in the middle of a highway?' As distasteful and terrifying as it was, he'd never be able to live with himself if he didn't uncover the identity of the object - 'not a person' - that had tripped him. Hesitation clawed at every fiber of his being, but he forced his way forward until his right hand brushed a raw, rough surface. He yanked his hand back like it was on fire before regaining control of his actions. 'I can do this.' Ben reached out again, and his fingertips came into tentative contact with the alien object. The moisture in the air hadn't seeped into its skin. His left fist covered his mouth to stop audible proof of his fear from escaping. At the same time, he increased the pressure of his right fingers in a bid to figure out what - or who - had gotten in his way. A crumbling sensation sent shock waves throughout his body. He managed to hold on long enough for a small sliver of something unknown to drop into his palm. Unable to keep his composure any longer, he darted back to the car, careful not to drop the evidence. He slammed the door shut and jammed the locks in place before turning to face the source of his inevitable doom. With his eyes squeezed shut, he uncurled his fist and put the object on display. His left eyelid lifted a fraction of an inch to test the waters before he dove in and allowed both eyes to confront the truth...
