We fear the dark. Perhaps we should

PHILADELPHIA - July 24, 2014 - PRLog -- STAY OUT OF THE WOODS.

     Something deadly lurks among the shadows, and the trees themselves seethe with menace.

     Never believe you are safe. No one is safe.

     The dark forest is a state of mind.

DARK FOREST is the latest anthology from UNINVITED BOOKS.

These classic stories of the malignant wilderness come from the pens of illustrious authors like Ambrose Beirce, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, E. Nesbit, H. G. Wells and many others. Tales like THE WILLOWS, A VINE ON A HOUSE and THE PAVILION combine to create an atmosphere of inhuman malignity. Each tale is annotated by contemporary talents, and the insights and observations of writers of the caliber of Paul G. Bens, Ramsey Campbell, Sandy DeLuca, Robert Dunbar, James Everington, Greg F. Gifune, Kevin Lucia, Ronald Malfi, Lisa Mannetti, Elizabeth Massie, and B. E. Scully serve to deepen the reader’s appreciation of the work.

From the Introduction:

     Long before haunted houses existed, haunted forests circled the globe. Homer knew it. The Brothers Grimm knew it. In legend, all the great mythic quests of self-discovery begin with a hero entering a forsaken wood.

     Some journeys also end there…

“Your soul is a dark forest.” ~ Marcel Proust
