"Clowns in the Woods" by Harold Hoss - Paperback

When Collin joins his wife’s family on a hunting trip deep in the unforgiving wilderness, he expects a weekend of camaraderie and adventure. But as night falls and the forest awakens, they encounter something far more sinister.
 
Three monstrous clowns, grotesque and otherworldly, emerge from the shadows, leaving a trail of terror in their wake. One by one, members of the group meet shocking and horrific ends, their bodies twisted and broken in ways that defy explanation.
 
Stripped of reason and plunged into a living nightmare, Collin finds refuge in an old deer blind, clinging to the hope that it might offer some protection. But it becomes a game of attrition, one Collin is ill-equipped to play. The clowns have the upper hand, and if he is to live, Collin realizes he must deny them their prize. 
 
In a final chilling decision, Collin robs these eldritch horrors of their trophy by choosing slow sacrifice over speedy death. 
 
With every breath, the boundary between sanity and madness blurs, and the haunting passage of the clowns echoes through the dark woods, a constant reminder that the nightmare is never over.
