Rachel Kitch’s The Forest Bleeds has an October 13 publication date from Union Square & Co. The publisher identifies the debut as a speculative horror-romance centred on doctoral students whose conference journey takes an unexpected turn. Saige Chambers is a blood witch studying Arcane Bioengineering. When her group’s

bus leaves the highway, it takes them to a remote Appalachian mansion, where the gates close behind them. Their host, Arius Medea, demands that the students cure his rotting leg if they want to survive. The injury emits a disturbing magic, and Saige’s plan to treat it quickly conflicts with colleagues who want to fight

their way out. Her relationships with poison witch Vaishnavi Sri and Arius further complicate the situation as members of the group begin disappearing. The 400-page hardcover is listed under ISBN 9781454963622. Kitch’s author biography describes an interest in incorporating Thai and Appalachian folklore, placing the

novel’s academic magic alongside the unsettling landscape surrounding the trapped students. Read the original source. Image: Union Square & Co. / Hachette Book Group.
