Black Oak is a late-career horror series from Charles L. Grant, published between 1998 and 2001. The five books follow paranormal investigators as they encounter supernatural threats in various American settings, from small towns to remote wilderness.

The series combines Grant’s atmospheric “quiet horror” approach with a more action-oriented structure than his earlier work. Each book functions as a standalone investigation while building a larger mythology across the series.
