Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees (DM)

Just added: an exclusive Direct Market hardcover edition of the critically acclaimed cozy horror series – with 8 pages of additional content.

“Don't. Kill. The. Locals.”

For Samantha Strong, that's not just good advice – it's a matter of survival. She's Woodbrook's most reliable shopkeeper, the town's warmest smile – and under all that fur, the most efficient serial killer for miles around. The big city beyond the pines offers more than enough prey; Sam just wants her quiet life, her tidy shop, and the soothing rustle of cedars and the scent of apple pie.

But the calm shatters when a resident of Woodbrook is found brutally mutilated by an unknown hand. Gossip swells, panic spreads – and Sheriff Patterson is on the hunt, far too close for Sam's comfort.

Sam knows: if someone else is killing in her woods, it doesn't just threaten her routine – it threatens everything she has built. She'll do whatever it takes to bring the truth to light before Woodbrook is torn apart.

From writer and artist Patrick Horvath – a darkly delightful thriller, already named Harvey Book of the Year 2025.
