Hello Readers,
Into the Forest is a captivating collection of new,
exclusive short stories inspired by the legendary figure of Baba Yaga.
Featuring the talents of Gwendolyn Kiste, Stephanie M. Wytovich, Mercedes M.
Yardley, Monique Snyman, Donna Lynch, Lisa Quigley, and R. J. Joseph, this
anthology offers fresh takes on the dark magic, mystery, and folklore
surrounding Baba Yaga. With a foreword by Christina Henry, these stories invite
readers into a world where myth and terror intertwine, exploring the eerie
allure of the forest and the power of its most enigmatic inhabitant.
Into the Forest is an absolute treat for anyone who loves
dark fantasy and folklore. This collection brings together an amazing group of
female writers, each offering their own take on the mysterious and magical Baba
Yaga. What I love most about this book is how every story portrays Baba Yaga in
such a unique way. Sometimes she’s a fearsome force of nature, other times
she’s more complex possibly capable of love, or even guided by her own moral compass.
The stories dive into all sorts of themes like family, romance, murder, deceit,
and even torture, with each one being just as gripping and fascinating as the
last.
Each author brings something different to the table, but
somehow it all comes together perfectly. It’s not often that I enjoy every
story in an anthology, but this is one of those rare collections where each one
had me hooked from beginning to end. The writing is so descriptive and magical
that I couldn’t help but be drawn into the world they created.
Whether you’re already familiar with Baba Yaga or not,
this book will have you looking at every forest with new eyes, wondering if
she’s lurking just out of sight. Into the Forest is thrilling, inspiring, and a
little bit terrifying and it will stay with you long after you’ve turned the
last page.
