Description
From a tiny village hidden by magic from war to a strange forest with no end, from a young woman questing for a book that doesn’t exist to a homemade Tarot deck that, in the wrong hands, warps the very fabric of reality.
These are not destinations for the faint of heart, but don’t worry. Come in, friends: how could shadows hurt you?
Twelve tales of fantasy and horror from award-winning author Jen Frankel, including three featuring characters from her Blood & Magic series. Are you ready for them? Because they can’t WAIT to meet YOU.
Catherine Fitzsimmons –
Most of the stories in this collection are precisely the type of dark reading I like: the kind that makes us look at our own flaws, or brings escapism closer to Earth to delve into the greater issues the genre should be addressing, without being too gruesome or depressing. Both well written and thought-provoking. I didn’t care so much for the Blood & Magic stories, but only because I’m not as much a fan of the genre; they were also well written and entertaining. A worthy collection.

A great short story collection. I found a lot of the stories really pulled me in, and had me on the edge of my seat to find out what would happen next (such torture to read them on break at work!). The author has a great voice for writing creepy subject matter.

Not generally my cup of tea, but it does contain some very imaginative stories and a couple of smart twists on old formulae. Four stars.
