From the oil fields of Alberta to the dark timber of Quebec to the storm-battered coast of Vancouver Island, Beneath the Pines follows ordinary people into the places the campfire stories warned about. Workers who hear...

An inherited house on Vancouver Island.
An old apple orchard near the water.
A quiet place to rest.
At first, it works.
Days fall into a rhythm—beach runs, salt air, familiar faces. The town is small, watchful, and kind in its own way. The orchard sits just beyond the yard, uneven and overgrown, its trees leaning where they please.

RAKE

Metal cools. Dust settles. Nothing moves.
That isn’t how the night ends.
SILT is a tense, claustrophobic horror story set on the night shift, where staying late becomes a mistake you don’t get to undo.
