About this listen

DISCOVER THE DISTURBING SECRET THAT HAS HAUNTED THE PINE BARRENS FOR CENTURIES.

1735. Leeds Point, New Jersey. A weary woman discovers she is pregnant with her thirteenth child. In a moment of despondence, she curses the unborn that it may be a devil. On the night the infant enters the world, no one in the room is left alive to recount the tale.

2005. Thirteen-year-old Patrick Shourds and his friend encounter a terrifying creature in the Pine Barrens. When only Patrick emerges from the woods alive, the residents of the small town blame and shun him. A pariah in his community, Patrick is ultimately driven away, vowing to never look back.

2025. Patrick reluctantly returns to Leeds Point after the death of his mother. Seeking to lay the ghosts of his past to rest, he soon discovers they refuse to go quietly. When a string of grisly events rock the small town, old suspicions resurface, and the residents again point their fingers at the prodigal son.

Patrick will learn that he can't run from the past. He'll have to confront his demons. The monster in the woods and the darkness that dwells within.

IN THESE WOODS, LEGENDS BECOME NIGHTMARES.

James Kaine, author of The Dead Children's Playground, brings you the next chilling tale in his American Horrors series where you'll learn that fear always finds its way home.

Another incredible take on an urban legend, this time focused on the cryptid of the Jersey Devil. I really enjoyed the multiple timelines, with a focus on one character as the main protagonist, and I loved the way the stories all intertwined to give you plenty of backstory, both of the creature and of the people involved in the story. There were some bits i could guess at, while other twists were really shocking. And once again, that epilogue is a masterpiece! The narrators voice really suited the story and did an excellent job.
