Through the Woods: A Short Story Anthology, Vol. 1 (Whimsical Worlds, Chilling Thrills, and Magical Tales)

By D.M. Million, R.M. Carpus and C.C. Givans

Monsters come in all shapes and sizes . . .

It’s tough being misunderstood. Humans don’t always get us. They usually label us the villains. It's hard for them to grasp what it's like to be a mischievous fairy, condemned witch, lonely sea creature, or delusional serial killer. They can't see that we're actually here to help them. Sometimes, we don't even want to bother with them at all. But they come looking for us, so are we really to blame for their demise? Someday, they'll realize who the true villains are. Until then, we'll continue to enlighten them anytime they choose to wander through the woods.

Full of spellbinding tales, whimsical adventures, and spine-chilling thrills, Through the Woods is the first installment of a new anthology series for lovers of fantasy and folklore. If you like supernatural suspense, gothic fairy tales, or old-school R.L. Stine, you'll devour these short stories!

Buy it now! Take your first step and discover what's lurking in the forest, where terror, mystery, and surprises await . . .
