The Pine Barrens' Devil

Leigh Paynter

For centuries, rumors persist of a demonic monster that haunts the Pine Barrens, a labyrinth of pine and cedar trees, mist covered bogs and abandoned colonial villages that stretch through the middle of New Jersey. For most New Jerseyans, the Jersey Devil exists somewhere between shadow and spectre. But the Pine Barrens is a very real place - an entity - harboring its own dark secrets and desire for self preservation. The enigmatic forest can seal a traveler’s fate - not everyone who walks into the Pine Barrens comes out.

This collection of short horror stories follows four travelers and their encounters with the legendary cryptid throughout different periods in American history. A quick and entertaining read, this book is a must-have for those seeking a chilling tale around the campfire, offering a fresh take on a scary folklore classic.
