Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Some borders should never be crossed. From the author of The Beast of Barcroft comes a waking nightmare of a horror novel that’s sure to thrill readers of Stephen King and Bentley Little.
Ex–Delta Force Davis Holland, now an agent for the Customs and Border Protection, has seen it all. But nothing in his experience has prepared him for what he and the local sheriff find one freezing night in the Minnesota woods.
Investigating reports of an illegal border crossing, the two men stumble across a blood-drenched scene of mass murder, barely escaping with their lives . . . and a single clue to the mayhem: a small wooden chest placed at the heart of the massacre. Something deadly has entered Holland’s territory, crossing the border from nightmare into reality.
When news of the atrocity reaches wealthy cryptozoologist Richard Severance, he sends a three-person team north to investigate. Not long ago, the members of that team—Ben McKelvie, Lindsay Clark, and Alex Standingcloud—were nearly killed by a vengeful shapeshifter. Now they are walking wounded, haunted by gruesome memories that make normal life impossible. But there is nothing normal about the horror that awaits in the Northwoods.
Praise for Northwoods

“Battle of the Five Armies meets Cryptozoological folklore, in this epic novel Severance's team of "cryptid investigators", Ben, Lindsey, Alex, and Gus 😺 head to the great lakes to look into recent reports of strange happenings around Lake Superior if only they knew what was in store for them in their search they will face everything including death itself...
Just like the first this book keeps you on your toes and the multi-character telling style is extremely well done this was an excellent 2nd book in the Fatal Folklore trilogy I look forward to reading the 3rd book soon”Jaclyn

“Author needs a new editor. Too many plot holes. Verbose writing style. Overuse of some words/phrases (i.e., "punch it"). Narrator in Audible version is terrible - can't keep the accents straight for the characters and the "southern" accent is laughable.”
