A true American horror story—born in the woods, steeped in memory, and soaked in dread. Set deep in Michigan’s Pigeon River Forest, Blood of the Witness Tree taps into the rich, unsettling current that has always run through American literature—from the spectral woods of Hawthorne and the brooding seas of Melville to Poe’s psychological dread and Irving’s haunted legends. Here, that current winds its way into the present. Isaac Fletcher just wants a quiet fly-fishing trip with his teenage son—a chance to heal old wounds. But in the deep forest, where cell signals vanish and nature reclaims the land, something ancient is stirring. Something that remembers.
