Don't Let the Forest In

C.G. Drews

This YA gothic horror novel follows Andrew Perrault, who returns to his boarding school reeling from an unexplained falling-out with his twin sister and still nursing an all-consuming crush on his roommate, Thomas, the artist who illustrates Andrew's macabre stories. When Thomas's drawings begin coming to life as monstrous creatures stalking the surrounding forest, the two boys are forced into a nightly battle for survival that only deepens their intense, obsessive bond. Beneath the body horror and bloodshed, the book is really an exploration of grief, identity, and the dangerous lengths people go to for those they love.
