🌲📚 Eco-horror that cuts deep 📚🌲

@allison_mick’s debut novel Humboldt Cut is getting love from the @sfchronicle, and for good reason. Set in Northern California’s redwoods, this gripping eco-horror blends folklore, labor history, grief, and vengeance into a haunting, genre-bending story you won’t forget.

Described as “brisk,” “beguilingly strange,” and really entertaining, Humboldt Cut asks big questions about capitalism, violence, and the living earth, while keeping you on the edge of your seat.

📚🌲✨ 03/04/2026 — We’re heading into the haunted redwoods.

Join us for #SistahScifiWineDownWednesday as @allison_mick discusses her darkly humorous eco-horror debut, Humboldt Cut.

Think: Jordan Peele meets Jeff VanderMeer with the emotional depth of The Overstory.

🌿 Jasmine Bay returns home to Northern California’s logging country for her godmother’s funeral, only to confront generational trauma, environmental devastation, and something far more unnatural lurking in the trees.

Her grandfather helped deforest the land. The forest remembers. And what grows from that destruction is hungry. This isn’t just horror, it’s inheritance. It’s an environmental reckoning. It’s what happens when the land demands accountability.

🍷 Pull up for a conversation about eco-horror, family secrets, sanity, and the cost of ripping nature apart for profit.
