Compulsively readable. -- Trang Thanh Tran, New York Times bestselling author of She Is a Haunting Perfect for any reader who has looked into the sharp mouths of disturbing fairy tales and found themself entirely at home. -- Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of The Spirit Bares Its Teeth and Hell Followed With Us A bloodied tale of toxic romance and botanical horror, this book will ensnare you like the tendrils of a haunted forest. -- Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge and Unholy Terrors Forests can be places of light & wonder or darkness & fears. They are best kept at bay, at least that is what anyone who knows anything about horror thrillers and fairytales would tell you! But that doesn't seem to stop Andrew following his fellow boarding school friend Thomas into one. It just so happens there is one right outside their school... Does that make it any safer? Andrew writes twisted fairy tales for Thomas to read & illustrate but this term something has changed, Thomas has changed, his drawings are coming to life in the forest. As the boys battle the monsters nightly their obsession with one another & the creatures grows stronger. What will they have to do to overcome these terrors? They will have to do it together no matter what. -- Louise Ellis-Barrett * Armadillo Magazine *
