Horror Under the Green (Paperback)

“The woods may be dark and deep, but…”

The leaves may seem cheerful and the happy sunlight dappling the path may seem inviting, but don’t be fooled. The green spaces carry dark anger in their every niche. They seethe barely-contained hatred of those who tear into the forest, who remove the trees and the shadows, without first understanding what those shadows hide.

The dangers hiding under the green might be hiding from human beings, but it’s probably best to let them stay hidden.

In volume two of Terror Stories from the Territories, discover thirteen unsettling tales from beneath the brooding trees and whispering leaves of the darkest forests, as transcribed from the lost journals of Jack Harlowe, an enigmatic traveler, an adventurous man whose face is as trustworthy as his pen is eager, and an observer of the human condition we know as terror.

Terror Stories from the Territories: Horror Under the Green includes the following tales:

• Adrenaline – Keep running.
• A Little Lost – Best to leave the wild things alone.
• Watching – The woods are hungry, and also full of prey.
• The Cost – Always ask permission.
• Beating Wings – If you can’t listen to the trees…
• Spotter – In lost paths, the hunter and the hunted often switch places.
• I Saw a Pony – A small future to consider.
• Bonecasting – Trespassing can getcha.
• Songs of Freedom, Songs of Loss – Ghosts pile up.
• Watchers – They are quiet, and they are behind you.
• Crazy Wall – Disaster at the end of a thread.
• The Chakatong – Seeing is believing, and believing is seeing.
• End Oh End – The cry of the loam.
