17 years ago, Tyler Barton was born in the Rocky Mountains, while his parents were on a hike.
On that day, his mother disappeared, never to be seen again.
Now, history repeats itself.
On the 17th anniversary of her disappearance, Tyler’s father is flying home when the plane he’s on disappears – in the same area where his mother was last seen.
Undeterred by officials, Tyler decides to hike into the area in search of his father, hoping to find him alive and bring him back to safety.
But there’s a reason that area is prohibited to enter and even though Tyler doesn’t care, he’ll soon find out that the wilderness can hide some of the deepest, darkest fears known to man.
From the author of ‘Incarnate,’ ‘The Window In the Ground’ and ‘Ritual’ comes a new novel that’ll make you rethink your Summer hiking trip.
If you enjoy hiking in the forests then you may want to rethink that after reading Mastodon, it may have you looking behind you or all around you wondering what the hell that noise was.
Even though it is forbidden territory, Tyler is searching for his father, but what he comes across was nothing he could have ever fathomed.
The creatures are unusually huge and have appendages that are not normal. They are violent and frightening. But what is even more frightening is the humans behind all these anomalies.
This is not only a survival story, but a story filled with the unexpected and grotesque. Things that occur that turns the stomach and burns the eyes.
The ending was not what I was expecting, and it had me yelling, no, no, no!
A second installment is coming in March 2026.
