Deep in the remote wilderness of New Hampshire's North Country, where the Androscoggin River carves through endless forests, lies The Lodge—an exclusive hunting retreat where the Bernard family has ruled for generations. Sam and Mike, a couple on the brink of collapse, stumble upon this hidden gem after their original plans fall through. It seems like fate. A once-in-a-lifetime experience. A chance to escape. But as the days stretch on and the dense woods close in, something feels…off. The Lodge is more than a hunting camp—it’s a place steeped in secrets, whispered through the towering pines and buried beneath the frozen earth. The guides know every inch of the land, yet their eyes seem to hold something back. The other guests carry smiles that don’t quite reach their eyes. And the Bernard family? They promise every visitor will leave with a trophy—but at what cost? When Sam discovers a hidden diary from a long-lost guest, the chilling truth begins to unravel. Strange disappearances, a subterranean labyrinth, and a legacy written in blood. Trapped in a world where the hunters may not be what they seem, Sam and Mike must uncover the Lodge’s dark history before they become part of it. A pulse-pounding blend of psychological horror and atmospheric suspense, The Lodge is a chilling descent into the heart of darkness—where the past never stays buried, and the hunt never truly ends. Perfect for fans of The Ritual and The Shining, Ben Poulin’s gripping thriller will keep you turning pages long into the night…if you dare.
