On Halloween Night, Forest Ranger Hank Feld is called out to the White Mountain National Forest to search for a group of lost hikers. Crushed at not being able to spend the evening with his daughter, Hank sets off into the cold, misty mountains along side volunteer, Gerard Castle. But they are not the only things in the woods that night. When they come upon a massacred camping site, they realize there's something hunting them: a malevolent creature that hungers for the souls of the lost. A novelette from The Wild Oblivion universe, readers follow one of THE WILD DARK's characters into the woods for a ghastly adventure, one that might eventually alter the world as we know it...
