A beautiful forest. A terrifying legend. It's 1986. Two strangers, hundreds of miles apart, grapple with disturbing incidents in a one-of-a-kind quaking aspen forest. Knox is a new Forest Service ranger assigned to a vast, remote territory in Utah. Sandy is a producer fighting for her place in a tough TV newsroom. Both have heard about the shadowy figure believed to menace visitors to the forest. When a man disappears and reports of the Root Witch begin coming in, Knox and Sandy are plunged into a living nightmare. Their lives converge on Halloween. Sandy sends a news crew to investigate the sightings. But when the team goes missing, and a shocking video surfaces revealing the ghastly truth, Knox and Sandy face the biggest decision of their lives. This novel is based on a short story, "The Root Witch: An Urban Legend Caught on Tape." Content warning: Animal death; anxiety; profanity

This book gets mixed reviews. I personally loved it! It‘s a slow burn folk horror story that takes place in a remote forest in Utah. There‘s a lot of technical detail about producing tv news in the 1980s that might bore some people but it was a fun story! I am looking forward to reading more by this author. Thank you @Marmie7 for including this in my #HHS package 🖤

Marmie7 I really enjoyed it too! I'm glad you liked it💜 13mo

Indie Author Brawl! This was ok. The forest, which is apparently real, was interesting. I learned about clones trees, which is basically one giant organism. I also learned about quaking aspens. Otherwise, the book was meh. The witch itself wasn‘t very scary, and the book felt a lot longer than it was. Going with “pick” instead of “so-so” for teaching me cool tree stuff.
