In the remote Pacific Northwest town of Blackwood, silence is not peace-it is survival.When Mara Ellison returns home after her mother's death, she expects to find grief and old resentments waiting in the decaying family house. Instead, she discovers a town rotting from within: homes overtaken by a velvet green fungus, graves bleeding spores, and neighbors who carry memories not their own. The woods whisper secrets in familiar voices. The dead return only to confess. And the silence that binds the townspeople together is the very soil in which the horror grows.As the fungal "Veil" spreads, Mara realizes Blackwood is not haunted by ghosts but by its own buried sins. Every lie, every betrayal, every unspoken grief feeds the mycelial network beneath the town-an organism that remembers everything. To survive, Mara must unearth her family's darkest secret: the truth about her father's disappearance. But in Blackwood, confession is as dangerous as silence, and the forest is always listening.The Fungal Veil of Blackwood is a folkloric horror novel steeped in atmosphere and dread, perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Stephen Graham Jones.
