As this is a horror novel I wanted to start with some content warnings. The book contains a lot of gore, blood, and some body horror. There are instances of animal death(s) and, well, people deaths. Lots of deaths! I did not check content warnings before reading (that is on me) and was surprised by the level of body horror.
This is the story of four adults (and one dog) who venture into the Kentucky woods to climb a previously undiscovered cliff face and conduct research about the area. Each has their reasons for heading into the woods. Dylan, a climber, wants to be the first to ascend the cliff and make more of a name for herself. She brings along her boyfriend Luke who will be providing support during the climb. They also bring along with them Luke’s dog Slade. Clay, who has organized this trip, is a graduate student, has discovered the undiscovered spot using technology and this is the driving force of his thesis. Lastly, Sylvia, another graduate student, joins the expedition to assist Clay and conduct research on the area's flora and fauna.
