Before the Devil Knows You're Here

Set in 1836 Wisconsin, this dark gothic fantasy follows Catalina, a determined young woman on a perilous quest to rescue her brother from a mysterious, nature-infused stranger made of bark and sap. Blending tall tales, surrealism, and Faustian themes, the story takes readers into a haunting wilderness filled with strange creatures and spirits. With vivid prose and rich symbolism, the narrative explores themes of courage, fate, and the supernatural in a beautifully imaginative setting.
