Hidebehind

More about the book

Young Parker Cunningham has just graduated with a degree in forestry and is eager to start his career with the United States Forest Service in California. However, job opportunities in Northern California are scarce, leaving him with only one option: a volunteer summer position as a watchman in a remote fire tower. Reluctant to spend four months in isolation but determined to stay close to family and gain experience, Parker accepts the job. Unbeknownst to him, the forest is rumored to be home to a legendary creature that preys on humans, a tale passed down by loggers and outdoorsmen. Confident in his familiarity with the woods from childhood camping trips, Parker begins his watchtower duties. However, he soon finds himself stalked and terrorized by the creature, which waits for the perfect moment to strike. As the nights grow increasingly perilous, Parker faces a daunting choice: abandon his future and everything he has worked for, or confront the terrifying reality of becoming the next victim of the Hidebehind. The stakes are high, and Parker must summon all his courage to navigate this harrowing experience.
