Deadwood - Paperback Book

In Deadwood, Georgia, something is alive…and it shouldn’t be.

When a storm topples a two-hundred-year-old black walnut, known by locals as the Deathwood Tree, third-generation woodworker Billy Harlan sees only good lumber and a way to keep his family’s struggling business alive. But when he begins to mill and shape the ancient wood, something stirs beneath the grain.

Whispers. Shadows. Faces that shift where no faces should be.

And as orders for Billy’s Deathwood furniture begin pouring in, the wood’s eerie beauty draws attention from far beyond Deadwood’s borders…and begins to consume more than just his time. What starts as craft becomes obsession. What was once creation becomes something far darker.

His wife Emma Jean and their daughters watch as the man they love slowly disappears behind the undeniable pull of the wood, drawn deeper into the strange heartbeat of the tree that should have never been saved.

Because in Deadwood, Georgia, the past doesn’t rest quietly. And some things were never meant to be touched.

“It’s just wood.”

A chilling Southern Gothic novella of faith, obsession, and the things we create that might one day become sinister masters over us.

Fans of Stephen King, H.P Lovecraft, and T. Kingfisher’s Southern horror will feel right at home, and deeply unsettled…in Deadwood.
