Overview

Ashwood isn't on the way to anywhere. Fog drapes the valley, the old mall sits boarded like a bad memory, and everyone knows the rule they won't say out loud: don't ask, don't look, don't go. Twelve-year-old Adam James feels the town in his bones-the lights that buzz too hard, the hum that crawls up his teeth, the stones he keeps in his pockets to keep himself steady. When a carved box in a back-alley shop whispers come closer, Adam breaks the rule and steps into the dead mall... and into a room cut with ancient marks, where Ashwood's secret waits: a bargain older than the asphalt, a hunger that takes one ""key"" each generation. Last time it called, his brother Ethan answered. This time, it wants Adam. With sharp-tongued sister Sophie at his side and a town that would rather forget than fight, Adam must unmake the bargain that has fed Ashwood for decades-before developers pry up the floor and tear out the lock keeping the thing below asleep. To save his family and the place that's breaking them, he'll have to turn silence into a circle, grief into keeping, and fear into something like faith. Lyrical, eerie, and fiercely compassionate, Through the Veil of Nightmares is a fog-drenched folk horror about siblings, small towns, and the cost of looking away-perfect for readers who like their hauntings human and their hope hard-won. Some monsters demand to be fed. The worst ones ask to be kept.
