Dark enough to stay in the mind forever.- A gift that surprises, unsettles, and lingers long after the wrapping paper is gone- Short, bite-sized stories ideal for cozy nightsFor readers of Neil Gaiman, Angela Carter, and lovers of dark fantasy anthologies, this collection captures the Gothic spirit of folklore while daring you to search for sparks of resilience in the shadows.Enter the forest.
