*Audible*
The audio version of this gave me goosebumps, it was well delivered. I really enjoyed this story. I was waiting for a twist, but even without what I was expecting, still enjoyable. If I hadn't listened to the audio version, it would have probably landed more to 3/3.5.

No sir, you can't have my face.

Woods are already creepy, let alone after reading this. Will definitely pick up more of Malerman's work.

A young woman goes missing in the Ucatanani National Forest (UNF) one night. It’s been three years since Brenda’s sister, Amanda, disappeared from the UNF and she plans on finding out what happened to her.

In this forest, there’s an urban legend of a bridge going to nowhere and a demon that terrorizes hikers and campers. Brenda is going into the forest once and for all to solve the mystery of her sister’s disappearance and whether the urban legend is real or not.

It Waits in the Woods was entertaining and gripping.
The pacing was great, and I could see Josh Malerman writing even more for this one.

I’m really enjoying the short stories in this Creature Feature collection. Glad I picked up all six of the books!
