If you’re drawn to stories with creeping dread and characters unravelling under emotional and supernatural pressures, this one’s for you.
In Whispering Woods, the only way out… is through the dark.
British actress Callie Crossley wakes in a nightmare. Abducted and abandoned outside a remote cabin in Whispering Woods, all she has is the clothes on her back and a single, chilling message scrawled on paper: DEAD TO ME.
Inside the cabin, she finds an unsettling cast of strangers: a washed-up teen sitcom star battling inner demons, a fierce wheelchair-bound girl who sees too much, and a tree outside swarming with watchful, menacing ravens.
Then film producer Torbin Thurston—tied to Callie’s past in ways she’d rather forget—appears at the door, and the fragile line between reality and madness begins to blur. Whispers echo through the woods. The trees themselves seem to speak. And only Callie can hear what they’re saying.
As the forest closes in, Callie must confront the darkest truths about herself and those around her. Because Whispering Woods has secrets, and once you hear the trees… they don’t let you go.
Some roots run deeper than madness.

‘The ever-growing confusion, fear and despair of each of the trapped characters as they grappled to understand and come to terms with their reality is palpable, and the relentless onslaught of the omnipresent ravens are the icing on the maniacal cake.’

‘For me, one of Dixon’s main strengths as an author is her characterisation and the down-to-earth and relatable way in which she conveys each personality to her reader.’
