Skeletons in the Forest
The bush is no longer empty. The bush has teeth now.By William Dwyer
Length4h 30m
About this audiobook
Deep in the bush, stone circles hidden for centuries are uncovered in the name of progress. From them come creatures that should not exist — twisted remnants of something older than memory.
Ken never believed in myths. But as the land turns hostile and the dead refuse to stay dead, he is forced to confront the consequences of his disregard for the forest.
As the body count rises and the bush itself becomes a weapon, ancient tools are drawn back into use — a taiaha once carried with honour, a matching pair of patu passed down through blood and history, and a war hammer wrought from the forest itself. These are not relics of heroism, but instruments of responsibility, wielded by those who refuse to walk away.
When the small town of Whangamomona falls silent and corrupted beings stalk the roads and forests, Ken and his unlikely allies are forced into a fight where the odds are against them — and where the line between myth and reality begins to break down.
