Endless is the Night - Black Sun

Inspired by a real-life murder and the urban legend surrounding it, this first book in the "Black Sun" series explores folk horror in a Japanese setting. When three friends begin a hike in the Kii mountains of Japan, they thought it would be a reset, a way to reconnect and find their way in life. Little did they know the horror that awaited them in those dark and mist shrouded woods. Cody Baker, always the pushover, is running from the hand he played in a recent tragedy.
He is accompanied by the charismatic and headstrong Rick Davis and the electric Mia Silvano as they make their way into uncharted terrain. One wrong move traps them in a world not meant for outsiders. A world of obscure gods, sacrifice, and terrifying realisations. Together they will come face to face against an ancient evil that dwells in the night sky as well as the monsters that lurk inside themselves.
Face to face with the sum of all their fears, will they survive?
