Rainforest: The atmospheric new novel from Sunday Times bestseller Michelle Paver
About this ebook
ENTER - AND YOU'LL NEVER BE THE SAME
Mexico, 1973
Simon Corbett has come to the jungle the way people do: to salvage a ruined career, and outrun a past he cannot face.
But the forest is no refuge.
As he ventures deeper, his days lose their edges. Footsteps follow that leave no trace. The path he cuts disappears behind him.
Something is leading him off course. It's older than the trees, watching, and hungry.
He came to the jungle to lose himself.
He may get his wish.
A terrifying supernatural tale from Sunday Times bestseller Michelle Paver, author of Dark Matter, Thin Air and Wakenhyrst.

About the author
Born in Malawi to a Belgian mother and a father who ran the tiny 'Nyasaland Times', Michelle moved to the UK when she was three. She was brought up in Wimbledon and, following a Biochemistry Degree from Oxford University, she became a partner in a big City law firm. She gave up the City to follow her long-held dream of becoming a writer.
Successfully published as an adult author, the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness ("Wolf Brother") were her first books for younger readers, followed by her brilliant 5-part series set in the bronze age, Gods and Warriors.
On the adult side, her first ghost story, DARK MATTER, was a UK bestseller and won massive praise from reviewers and readers, as did her second ghost story, THIN AIR.
Reviews for Michelle's gothic ghost story WAKENHYRST have been stellar - "Her finest novel yet" says The Times... ""What a story it is", says The Observer - "Wakenhyrst is brilliant, spanning Fen devils, mystics and the lot of women in Edwardian England." WAKENHYRST is an Amazon Kindle bestseller.
