The Roots Run Deep

C. M. Forest

From the twisted imagination of C.M. Forest, the acclaimed author of Infested, comes a collection of 15 horror stories that will drag you into the abyss of fear and despair.

The evil grows

A young couple, enjoying a day in paradise, make a horrifying discovery on the beach after a terrible storm. A cable repairman must descend into the very earth itself to answer a call he may never come back from. A single dad loses his child in the neon guts of a fast food playland. The midnight shift at a county greenhouse turns violent thanks to some especially aggressive moths. A criminal from Detroit tries to rob the wrong donut shop. Children on their way to summer camp find a new mother in the unforgiving woods. A woman, lost in her own grief, must face her sorrow before it devours her.

Fifteen stories of horror, fear, and dread that prove the roots of evil run deep.

"The Roots Run Deep is a hard-hitting collection of cosmic, weird, and fresh horror fiction. C.M. Forest really brings it with this one-a welcome sucker-punch of a book I never saw coming."

-Caleb Stephens, award-winning author of The Girls in the Cabin and Feeders

Brace yourself for an unrelenting journey through a world where evil knows no bounds, and darkness consumes all.
