Sinossi
Murky mirrors, deceptive will-o’-the-wisps, dryads who know not what they are, wings born from the sting of punishment, keys that bind bodies, the charm of springs that glow with a false fire, girls sharp with thorns, wishes granted and burdened by the weight of death, people who are anything but human and humans who are not quite people…. Everything has a place in the Deep Forest, a perhaps infinite realm inhabited by all that lives within us without our consent, and where there is nothing more terrifying than a “forever and ever.”
Dark short stories with an uneasy rhythm, dense as the fertile undergrowth that twists into tendrils, wet as the moss on which the dew dwells. Tales woven through fragile intuition and legends wrought with the impulses, guilts, and cravings of which we are scarcely aware. A tarot of twisted intentions and mortal desires.
At the crossroads of poetic and macabre, these fragments of lost lore slither across each page, leaving behind a forest black as ink. Be cautious as you, reader, venture down its uncertain paths. It is there that you will confront all that you fear within yourself.
“From this book spill hundreds of tiny seed-like tales, ready to burrow into the soft soil of your mind. They are strange, sweet, ruthless and profound, each hinting at briar-twisted paths to darker, wilder glades beyond your sight.”
—Frances Hardinge
“A treasure chest of jeweled miniatures, all new fables and fairy tales from the fabulously rich imagination of Sofia Rhei.”
—Lisa Tuttle
