About this listen
Some ledgers balance in coins. This one keeps its tally in names.
When cartographer Mara Ellery returns to her childhood mountain town, she expects silence, not the strange arithmetic of memory being rewritten. A brass tag burns with laughter long forgotten, a Möbius map redraws itself in the night, and the Watchers—silent figures along the ridge—lean closer with every bargain the town makes.
Blackwood has lived for generations under a covenant: debts settled not with money, but with pieces of the self. Names traded. Voices thinned. Memories erased. But as Mara digs into the ledger’s cold logic, she discovers that the mountain has begun writing back—and it has chosen her as guarantor.
Dark, lyrical, and unsettling, The Watchers on the Mountain blends folklore horror with psychological suspense in a tale of sacrifice, survival, and the terrible price of keeping a town alive.
