Instead, he encounters a warning that has circulated through the community for generations: never travel Briar’s Bend after dark. The isolated road has been the site of countless unexplained accidents. Drivers report losing control on clear nights, their vehicles suddenly pulled toward the trees by a force they cannot see. Older residents claim the cause is something known only as the Hairy Hands. Caleb has no patience for ghost stories—until an invisible grip seizes his steering wheel. Drawn into the road’s disturbing history, Caleb discovers decades of crashes, frightened survivors, and accounts that conventional explanations cannot resolve. The closer he comes to understanding Briar’s Bend, the more dangerously personal its legend becomes.
