Título: That Night in the Woods
Autor: Kristopher Triana
Sinopse: When Jennifer receives a message from Scott Dwyer after twenty years without contact, her first reaction is one of excitement. Scott was her first love. Now in her forties and in the middle of a divorce, nostalgia for her youth gets the better of her.
Scott invites Jennifer to his house in Redford, the town she grew up in. It’s a place she’s tried to put behind her, for not all childhood memories are sunny. When she accepts Scott’s invite, she struggles with mixed feelings, especially when she learns of the death of Steven Winters, one of her childhood friends.
Scott invites three people from their past to honor Steven’s memory—Corey, Traci, and Mark. But the group is more than old friends. They share a dark secret that has troubled them for decades. Now it’s time to face their traumatic pasts. Together, they must unravel the mystery of what happened in the patch of forest behind Scott’s house, a place once known as Suicide Woods.
From the author of Gone to See the River Man comes a chilling novel that reminds us that old ghosts are the ones that haunt us most.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Cemetery Dance Publications costumam mergulhar o leitor em narrativas de suspense e terror que exploram tanto o sobrenatural quanto o psicológico, muitas vezes com personagens enfrentando ameaças ocultas e forças perturbadoras. O catálogo traz histórias que transitam entre o horror histórico, como investigações ambientadas em séculos passados, e o horror contemporâneo, que inclui cultos, possessões e crises mentais profundas. A tensão é construída com ritmo intenso e clima sombrio, ora por meio de narrativas que combinam ação e mistério, ora por meio de relatos mais introspectivos sobre a loucura e o medo interior. Além disso, a editora reúne antologias e coleções que reúnem diferentes vozes do gênero, ampliando o espectro do horror para incluir desde o terror clássico até o experimental.
