Across Hollowbone Ridge follows Matti, who travels to the rural town of Black Bear, Washington after her brother Aaron’s sudden death—searching for closure, connection, and answers no one seems willing to give.
There, she meets Tyler, a quiet local who spends more time tracking wildlife than speaking. With gentle persistence, he becomes her unlikely guide—through the woods, through grief, and through the parts of Aaron’s life she never truly understood. But Tyler suspects there’s more to Aaron’s death than anyone’s admitting. The town is tight-lipped, and the timeline doesn’t add up. And something is stalking the forest—something intelligent, patient, and growing bolder by the day.
Animals are vanishing. Shadows move wrong. Something is off—and it’s getting harder to ignore.
Across Hollowbone Ridge is Kat Tyler’s first psychological thriller—a slow-burn story of loss, isolation, and the terrifying realization that the truth has been buried deep… and something in the woods wants it to stay that way.
