About this listen

 Into the Dark of the Woods is an anthology horror series set across the forgotten corners of Northern Michigan - a place where the land remembers what the people forget. Each story stands alone, told weekly in five episode beats, with rich, cinematic narration. We explore folklore, grief, and the strange roots beneath the Rust Belt.

    The three students from Ferris State University have seen their quarry. They know he exists and they try to find him. But this is November and even though it may be early, it's still the Upper Peninsula and the lakes can effect the weather fast and hard. As these three are beginning to learn if you're not from the land, the land may have plans for you.
