Flame Tree Press’s anthology WEIRD HORROR releases today! It includes my strange, quiet tale, “The Things From the Woods.”
A home health nurse stumbles upon a journal in her patient’s library while she naps, and discovers how her patient began her strange tendencies of only eating pinecones, sticks, pine needles, red and blue berries, of refusing to bathe besides in the creek snaking through the woods on her property, of drinking nothing but rainwater tea mixed with what smells like pungent muck, caking the inside of the kettle and cup brown-black… Then, the mother-to-be wakes up.
