The Scribe of Whispering Pines

When Alex finds a leather-bound book on a secluded hiking trail, he believes it's a prank. But its cryptic rules are not a game. Each one he obeys drags him deeper into a supernatural nightmare where his compliance saves him, but condemns someone he loves. Stalked by a figure made of bone and shadow, and haunted by a future version of himself, Alex discovers the book isn't just a list of commands—it's a living curse that rewrites reality, feeds on memory, and is slowly turning him into its new author. He must solve the forest's ancient mystery before the final page is written in his own hand, trapping him in a loop of horror forever.
