Trail of the Crimson Claw and Other Horror Tales: A Collection

This is a collection of haunting and horrific tales inspired by one of the most terrifying encounters I've ever had in my life. While journeying through the Appalachian Mountains in the darkness of night I was scared beyond words. To give you a little background, I have spent a better part of my life exploring forests, jungles, swamps, and mountains across several continents. I have always enjoyed the beauty and serenity of Nature. Sometimes my curiosity of natural places gets the better of me and I have on occasion headed out of these locations a little later and a little further than expected.

The vastness of nearly a million acres in your backyard can be staggering to comprehend. Add to it the fact that the forest I hike is over 480 million years old. It always feels like a lost world out here. So many hidden adventures await in all that mountainous splendor and its endless cavernous depths. It's a siren's call pulling me ever forward into those emerald recesses.

Call it fate, bad luck, or maybe even a good omen, but on June 11th of 2022, I encountered something that still gives me a shudder on occasion. Especially when I look out to the back country of the Appalachian Mountains. An unnerving chill seems to run down my spine watching the sway of those distant towering pines. The horrific experience certainly ran the Dweller out of the darkness...for a little while.

I ask you to join me on a journey both haunting and horrific. As you stare out to those swaying, ancient trees reading our book, maybe you notice that one tree that has a monstrous shape behind it. Maybe the shadow lurking behind that same tree looks at you curiously...for now.
