It Calls From The Forest: Volume Two - More Terrifying Tales From The Woods
Description:
Product Description There is evil in the woods and it wants you dead. They warned us not to enter, but we didn't listen. The call too strong to ignore. And now there is no one left to save us.Beware, these things within the forest will rip out your heart and devour your soul. You will tremble as they revel in your madness, taking everything from you and leaving you with nothing.Delve inside this anthology of what truly lurks within the shadows of the trees. Eerie River Publishing brings you another round of exceptional horror by award-winning authors from around the globe. Review If you dropped me in the middle of the forest, Bear Grylls style, I'd be rubbish at the finding stuff to stay alive part (and I probably wouldn't drink my own wee unless things got really bad), but for a while I'd love just wandering around through the trees, marvelling at the sights and getting lost in nature. There isn't much to fear in the woods around here, other than treading in an errant dog turd.The same can't be said of Eerie River Publishing's It Calls from the Forest Volume 2, which offers a huge variety of genuine frights and chills. Across 25 stories you get cultish tree worshippers, terrifyingly imaginative nightmare creatures, tusked giants, hungry plants, hungrier ghosts and well-timed bear attacks to name but a few. There are historical tales, timeless tales, and stories very much set in the modern world. And they're not all about people wandering off into the woods, as you might expect from the title. Some are about characters desperately trying to flee the trees, and others let the things hidden amongst the bark and bracken break loose in pursuit of their prey.See more at Kendall ReviewsWhat horrors dwell within the woods? This eclectic blend of superlative short stories explores monsters both familiar (werewolves, ghosts, rapcacious plants) and unique (stillness, chimeras, contagion). Each author creates a complex cosmos of tension, defying expectations and delivering thrills. The scares range from a cerebral loop involving time and reflection to various visceral beasts bent on carnage and consumption.Among the best tales are these three. "Dating in Murderville" describes an online influencer who reenacts serial killings but gets more than she bargained for. "Between the Trees" is a haunting head scratcher about a father and daughter hopelessly lost. "The Heralding" delivers an ecological message with undeniable punch.- GoodReads ReviewerIt Calls From The Forest: Volume 2 is an exceptional collection of more than 20 horror stories that will shock, scare and creep you out.The anthology kicks off with the fantastic and atmospheric "I Speak For The Trees", and the quality of stories remains high throughout the book.
