The forest remembers.
And it’s hungry.
Something old is waking in the Alabama woods, and it craves more than blood.
Chicago enforcer Jack Carmelo is used to blood. But when Capone sends him to rural Alabama to run whiskey, he finds a different kind of killing.
In the dying forest outside town, people vanish—or are found butchered, strange symbols carved into their flesh. The locals whisper about witches, but Jack doesn’t believe in such things. Not yet.
The Klan is already spilling blood in the streets, and their crusade is tearing the town apart. But something else is watching from the trees—something older, hungrier, and not quite human.
To survive, Jack must face a darkness no bullet can stop—before the whispers in the trees decide he belongs to them.
For fans of Laird Barron, Paul Tremblay, and Southern Gothic horror with teeth.
Praise for Feast of the Unclean
This has to be one of the scariest books I have ever read.
Amazon Reviewer
The characters felt so real. Not only do they get under your skin, but they also make you care about them, which makes the horror sting so much more. The emotional weight behind it was intense. Daniel is good at making you wonder just how far people will go to survive. If you like horror that gets under your skin and stays there, this one is for you.

Jonathan Daniel has written one of the most atmospheric horror novels I’ve read in years. The Alabama woods feel alive and not in a good way. There’s blood, witchcraft, and madness woven into every page. It’s Southern Gothic at its darkest, with a gangster twist that somehow works perfectly. Jack Carmelo is a flawed, gritty protagonist who faces the unthinkable and the way Daniel merges crime noir with ancient evil? Pure genius.
