When acclaimed author Russell Tolliver finds himself paralyzed by writer’s block, he and his family trade the noise of Boston for the quiet charm of a secluded New Hampshire town fittingly called Isolation. Their new home is everything they dreamed of—a serene escape nestled in the shadow of endless woods.
But serenity can’t last forever.
Not long after their arrival, whispers of a shadowy creature stalking the forest begin to spread through the town. The whispers turn to screams when mutilated bodies start appearing. As the death toll rises, fear grips Isolation, threatening to unravel the close-knit community.
Determined to protect their families and uncover the truth, Russell teams up with his neighbors, Tom and Mitchell, and a reclusive town historian, Bryce. Together, they begin unraveling Isolation’s dark and bloody past—a past that holds terrifying secrets about the creature lurking in the woods.
As they dig deeper, the line between history and horror blurs, forcing each man to confront their own inner demons. With the monster’s rampage escalating and time running out, the four friends must face a chilling truth: history remembers.
Isolation is a gripping tale of terror, resilience, and the lengths we go to protect the ones we love—no matter what waits for us in the shadows.
