About this listen
A beautiful forest. A terrifying legend.
It’s 1986. Two strangers, hundreds of miles apart, grapple with disturbing incidents in a one-of-a-kind quaking aspen forest.
Knox is a new Forest Service ranger assigned to a vast, remote territory in Utah.
Sandy is a producer fighting for her place in a tough TV newsroom.
Both have heard about the shadowy figure believed to menace visitors to the forest. When a man disappears and reports of the Root Witch begin coming in, Knox and Sandy are plunged into a living nightmare.
Their lives converge on Halloween. Sandy sends a news crew to investigate the sightings. But when the team goes missing and a shocking video surfaces revealing the ghastly truth, Knox and Sandy face the biggest decision of their lives.
This novel is based on a short story, The Root Witch: An Urban Legend Caught on Tape."

The perfect, creepy, slow burn.
Debra Castaneda is the queen of quiet, eco horror.
This is my second book by Castandea and she's become an auto-buy author for me.
The Root Witch is a slow, creepy burn. An impending sense of doom builds throughout. The characters felt real, the premise felt real (which is impressive in itself, since we're talking about a mythological creature), the whole thing was just sublime.

slow creepy burn
a creepy slow burn. easy to get through and I enjoyed the story. characters were built so well. I would have loved to have gone into depth more with the story behind the root witch and have a bit more of a scare. otherwise, an enjoyable story.

Truth
Loved the narration of Jennifer Pickens, who brings out the suspense, pace thrills
What happens, when a TV producer and a ranger, go out to see if the Root Witch just an urban legend or real. This is a fast paced and genuinely spine chilling story.

Very atmospheric
This was an excellent story, I loved the different storylines and character development and how they merged. I have to give a shout out to Jennifer Pickens (narrator) she always adds to the atmosphere of a narration
