The Dark Frontiers series by D.A. Roberts takes horror into the American backcountry. Starting with First Hunt / Cry of the Wendigo in 2023, the series pits characters against legendary monsters in remote wilderness settings. The locations range from canyons to mountain ranges, and the creatures draw from various folklore traditions.
With four books published between 2023 and 2025, this is one of Roberts’s newer series. It shares his characteristic fast pacing and action-oriented approach to horror, but the wilderness settings give it a different feel from his military and urban series.
