It Waits in the Woods
It Waits in the Woods | Josh Malerman
9 posts | 15 read | 4 to read
Some chilling campfire tales ring too true to ignore. For one young woman, an urban legend calls her into the woods in a spine-tingling short story by the bestselling author of Bird Box.
The dense Michigan forest. Haunting wails. The clip-clop of demon hooves on a bridge to nowhere. It’s more than a tall tale to Brenda Jennings, whose sister disappeared in those woods one fateful night. Three years later, on a solo stakeout in the dark, Brenda goes in after her. She’s desperate for answers, and terrified to find what lies waiting on the other side of that bridge.
Josh Malerman’s It Waits in the Woods is part of Creature Feature, a collection of devilishly creepy stories that tingle the spine and twist the mind. They can be read or listened to in one petrifying sitting.

Not gonna lie…this scared the crap out of me. The narrator does a great monster voice, plus, it‘s just a creepy story! This is a good example of why I don‘t hang out in the woods.

Josh Malerman delivers fear and terror with this short story. There‘s a legend that a creature lives deep in the Michigan forest. An adventurer will know they have found the creature when they discover an old bridge with faded white paint and intricate handrails with aged yellow trim. This creature is missing something and searches for it in the unlucky adventurers who cross its path.

Brenda's sister Amanda goes missing. Town lore tells of a faceless creature living in the woods. But that's a kids' tale; surely it can't be true.

Another short, creepy listen from Amazon‘s Creature Features! This narrator in particular did an excellent job of giving me chills, especially as the “creature”. I would have loved this as a longer story but it was still satisfying as short as it was. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Another one from the Amazon “Creature Feature” collection for #Scarathlon & listened to today while I drove to meet a friend for lunch & run errands. This one was pretty creepy/good & I really liked the ending! 😱

It netted me 311 points for Team #SpookyGhostClub 👻🖤
