Girl in the Creek by Melinda Braun

A Gripping Supernatural Thriller Set in the Haunting Forests of the Pacific Northwest

In this chilling page-turner perfect for fans of Jeff VanderMeer and T. Kingfisher, Girl in the Creek blends eerie atmosphere, buried secrets, and creeping horror in the wilds of Oregon.

Five years ago, Erin’s brother Bryan disappeared without a trace while hiking near Mt. Hood. Determined to uncover what happened, Erin ventures deep into the Pacific Northwest wilderness—the same place where dozens of hikers have mysteriously vanished before him.

But when Erin stumbles upon the body of a local woman in a nearby creek, she triggers something far more sinister than she ever imagined. Now entangled in a dark web of secrets, lies, and otherworldly forces, Erin must fight to uncover the truth… before the forest swallows her whole.

Buried secrets never stay silent. In the woods, everything spreads.
