Gideon's Revenge

In the haunted forests of northern Wisconsin, the town of Black Veil buried its sins beneath pine and silence. But some roots never stay dead.Seventeen years after the fire that devoured his family, Gideon McHale returns from the shadows-scarred, silent, and wielding an axe that hums with ancient memory. Branded a myth by locals who left him to burn, Gideon becomes the forest's reckoning-seeking not only vengeance, but the truth behind the spirit that turned him into its weapon.As bodies vanish and whispers stir beneath the moss, the townsfolk must face what they tried to forget: the forest remembers. And it's hungry.A chilling tale of legacy, guilt, and the monstrous things we create when we refuse to confront the past, Gideon's Revengeis a descent into mythic horror where folklore bleeds and the woods breathe.
