Something is waiting in the woods.

Blake hoped the camping trip would fix what real life couldn't.

Years of infertility treatments and emotional distance have begun tearing apart his relationship with Jessica. Hoping to reconnect, the two join their longtime friends Kyle and Norah for a weekend deep in the wilderness.

What begins as an uneasy getaway quickly descends into terror as strange sounds echo through the trees and unseen figures move beyond the firelight. When the group realizes they are being hunted by intelligent cryptid creatures deep within the forest, survival becomes their only goal.

But the forest already knows them.

As paranoia, grief, and violence consume the group, Blake is forced to confront a horrifying truth tied to his childhood and the nightmare his family convinced him never happened.

Some things were never meant to be found.

And some monsters never stopped watching.

CRYPTID is a psychological creature horror novel blending survival horror, suspense, grief, and atmospheric terror.
