Don't Chase the Fireflies

What begins as a summer vacation to an old family cabin in Georgia soon turns into something far more unsettling. When strange fireflies appear in the woods, James and his younger brother Dylan are drawn toward an ancient oak that hides a terrifying secret. As fear spreads through the family, their father, Richard, is forced to face the painful memories he has spent years trying to bury. The deeper they uncover the truth, the clearer it becomes that the darkness surrounding the cabin has been waiting for them all along.

In Don’t Chase the Fireflies, Matthew T. weaves supernatural horror with a deeply personal story about family, forgiveness, and the sacrifices people make for those they love. The eerie atmosphere, emotional tension, and growing sense of dread build steadily toward a powerful conclusion that lingers long after the final page.

Some lights are beautiful for a reason, and some are meant to be left alone. When the fireflies begin to glow, will anyone escape what waits beneath the ancient oak?
