MIDNIGHT ALMANAC presents OUTGROWTH—The terrifying new fiction podcast by Katrina Salicrup.

Ranger Green patrols the Willamette National Forest every day. But today, a routine patrol becomes a race against something he can't see— a growing horror hiding deep within the trees.

The Remis family welcomes their prodigal daughter, Evan. Together they prepare for their annual summer camping trip to the Willamette National Forest. Little do they know... this getaway may be their last.

The Remis family encounters an unexpected delay during their drive into the Oregon woods. After a brief encounter with Ranger Green, they finally resume their journey into the heart of the forest, where their secluded yurt—and a gathering darkness—patiently awaits.

The Remis family finally arrives at their secluded yurt— a lone, man-made sentinel in a sea of green. As they settle into their retreat, the silent, omnipresent forest seems to watch them, waiting for their next move.

The Remis family splits up for a day of adventure. While Bruce and Alexis enjoy a scenic hike, Mani ventures off the trail and into a damp, secluded old-growth area to hunt for mushrooms. Hidden in the perpetual shade, Mani finds an impressive flush of mushrooms—and a strange curiosity that should have remained undisturbed.

The Remis family returns to their yurt to relax and unwind, unaware that a nearly invisible threat has breached their secluded sanctuary. Meanwhile, Ranger Green is alerted to an uncanny series of events unfolding within the wilderness.

A chilling glimpse into the horror that awaits.

 A deceptive tranquility settles over the Remis family. This is the calm before the storm—a final, chilling moment of peace before the unrelenting horror finally begins.

Bruce's attempt at a romantic getaway takes a horrifying turn.
