When three grandchildren spend a quiet weekend with their grandparents deep in the West Virginia woods, they expect campfire stories, warm meals, and the comfort of their grandfather’s familiar tales. But when they beg him to share the most frightening thing that ever happened to him in the forest, Henry—an old woodsman who’s spent his life among the trees—finally tells the story he’s kept buried for more than fifty years. As the firelight flickers and the night presses close, the children discover that some stories aren’t meant to entertain… they’re meant to warn. And long after the telling is done, the dark valley beyond Blueback Ridge still listens.
