Horror

The Woods All Black

by Lee Mandelo

In 1920s Appalachia, nurse Leslie Bruin is dispatched to the isolated township of Spar Creek by the Frontier Nursing Service. Amid delivering babies and vaccinating locals, Leslie confronts both the region's brutal violence and their own gender identity—while something dark and vengeful stirs in the mountains. A trans historical horror steeped in blood, romance, and reckoning.
