It Lives In The Woods

It Lives In The Woods is an original horror story. Assuming it follows the tradition of The Haunting of Braidwood Manor, it will most likely be a one-shot.

Trivia

 * Unusual for a Choices story, the first two chapters of the book were made available simultaneously upon its premiere on October 18, 2017.
 * This is the first book to advise player discretion, mentioning that this book contains disturbing scenes, violence, and bullying.
 * Although Chapter 6 of The Haunting of Braidwood Manor featured themes of infanticide and suicide, it did not feature such a disclaimer. It should be pointed out however, that Woods is noticeably darker and gorier than Braidwood, which for most of its chapters was mainly a supernatural mystery.
 * Scenes of bullying are also found in The Freshman and Endless Summer. However, the characters in those stories are older and better able to deal with college-level bullying.
 * Violence is common in other stories such as Most Wanted, The Crown and The Flame, Endless Summer, and Hero. However, it is likely the violence in this story will be much more graphic.
 * Along with The Sophomore: Hartfeld Horror Story, this is first official title in Choices' new "SPOOKY THRILLS" genre. The Freshman: Love Bites and The Haunting of Braidwood Manor were retroactively added to this genre.
 * This is the first book where your choices will directly affect your own character. Your choices will affect your "Nerve" and how well you react in dire situations.
 * You have the chance to collect several artifacts throughout the story which reveal more about the mystery and unlock bonus scenes, similar to the Clues, Dossiers and Catalyst Idols in Endless Summer.
 * The name of the fictional town this story is set in, Westchester, may be a parody of the Supernatural protagonists Sam and Dean Winchester.
