“Across Hollowbone Ridge” follows Matti, who travels to the rural town of Black Bear, Washington, after her brother Aaron’s untimely death—searching for closure and connecion. Tyler, a quiet local who spends more time fishing and tracking wildlife than speaking, becomes her unlikely guide—through nature, through grief, and through the pieces of Aaron’s life she never saw. But as the weeks pass, Matti senses something else in the forest. The unease isn’t just emotional. Animals are disappearing. Shadows move wrong. There’s something out there—something alive, intelligent, and growing bolder.
“Across Hollowbone Ridge” is a slow-burn novel about grief, isolation, survival, and the terrifying realization that something is watching—and it knows exactly where you are.
