In the Woods, Dark & Deep:

9 Stories of Speculative Fiction

“In The Woods, Dark and Deep is a joy ride through horror and fantasy. ...this linked short story collection...is a delightful foray into the morbid and the macabre and one of the most unique reading experiences I've ever encountered. You’d be hard-pressed to find something more innovative in the genre right now. Author D. L. Rhodes... manages to balance graphic and imaginative narratives with insightful dialogue from the most unlikely of characters.”
--Independent Book Review

“...every tale in this collection is exceptional. Primary characters are exquisitely designed, true to form according to the storyline, and believable... D. L. Rhodes excels in characterization.
... the prose used in every story is far above ordinary. In all cases, Rhodes has...created realistic, educating, entertaining, and above all, mind-blowing narratives. ... think of The Twilight Zone on steroids!”
--Readers’ Favorite (5 Star Review)

They all creep in, 
but some never come back out...
In the Woods, Dark and Deep…My Mother and Other Monsters…Can You See Me Now?

Speculative Fiction is a mixed bag--sometimes it’s Horror, other times Science Fiction or Fantasy or Magical Realism or even just a touch of weirdness tucked into the corners of everyday life. This story collection runs the gamut with characters like a monstrous mother from hell and a little boy who rises from the grave, in addition to modern day witches and ogres. Some of them are deadly serious, others are playful. And then there are those who are full of the stuff of which nightmares are made. Each story asks—what makes these strange people tick? And deep down, what do they hunger for most? No matter who or what they are, they each creep lightly through the shadowed landscape of a fictitious world, tiptoeing through the reader’s imagination, where the rules of reality must bend to allow speculation in its most dreamlike and magical form.
