Cryptid Carl and the Hollow King

In the forgotten hills of Appalachia, monsters don't just haunt old stories. They leave tracks in the dirt, shadows in the trees, and warnings etched in bone.

Carl is a rough-edged cryptid tracker with a talent for finding things that shouldn't exist and keeping them out of the wrong hands. When Mothman sightings spark a string of disappearances in a dying mountain town, Carl and his strange companions are drawn into a hunt that spirals far beyond folklore.

Something is wrong in the woods. Something watching.

At the center of it all is the mysterious Indrid Cold, pulling the strings of something far larger than anyone sees coming. With his hollowed-out followers crawling through the cracks of reality, Carl finds himself in a race to uncover the truth before the veil tears for good.

Carl doesn't want to be a hero. He just wants to protect what's his.

But when gods bleed, it's men who must carry the scars.
