Don't Let the Forest In Book by CG Drews

Step into a haunting, atmospheric story where friendship, fear, and the unknown intertwine.
Don’t Let the Forest In is a dark young adult novel that follows two boys bound by an intense friendship and a shared fascination with horror stories. As their final year at a secluded boarding school begins, the line between imagination and reality starts to blur. The forest surrounding the school feels alive—watching, waiting—and the stories they write may be bleeding into the real world.
This novel masterfully blends psychological horror with emotional depth, exploring themes of obsession, loyalty, identity, and the terrifying power of stories. With eerie imagery and a slow-burn sense of dread, the book pulls readers into a world where not everything should be written—and some doors should never be opened.
