Called out to the unexplored Sorrow Helm forests in the early 1970s, elderly cartographer Wilbur Roman soon finds that the woods are near-impossible to map; and that he's very, very far from alone out here. Trails of bones and antlers, mysterious robed figures, and strangely-behaving creatures all lead him to the same devastating conclusion: there's something terrible out here, and it wants him... In ELKEN, the folk horror world of Jay Alexander's STARVING GROUNDS (coming June 2022) is explored for the first time with horrifying consequences.
