The Wilderness That Consumes
In a pristine coastal wilderness known only as Area X, a biologist joins the twelfth expedition into a territory where the laws of nature have been rewritten. This land, sealed behind a mysterious border for decades, has swallowed eleven previous teams through madness, murder, or metamorphosis. The new expedition consists of four women identified only by their professions: biologist, psychologist, surveyor, and anthropologist. Their mission seems straightforward-document the ecosystem and return safely-but nothing about Area X is what it seems. The first sign of wrongness appears when they discover an underground structure-a tower spiraling into the earth-that wasn't on their maps. Inside, living words formed from luminous fungi spiral down the walls: "Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner..." When the biologist examines this impossible text, a spore-releasing nodule bursts, and she inhales golden particles that begin changing her perception. Suddenly, she can see what her companions cannot-the walls are breathing, pulsing with a heartbeat. The tower isn't made of stone but living tissue. What begins as scientific exploration quickly unravels into psychological horror. The anthropologist vanishes overnight. The psychologist's explanations grow inconsistent. And the biologist harbors a secret that drew her here-her husband was on the previous expedition, returning as an empty shell before dying of aggressive cancer six months later.
