In the Woods, Dark & Deep: 9 Stories of Speculative Fiction

 

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.

Beasts Came Up

 

Beasts Came Up: A Horror-Western

It's John Ford meets Dario Argento in a brutal, action-packed horror-western...
Assigned to Fort Summerfield, Wyoming, in the summer of 1866, Lieutenant Logan Fairfax faces a fight for his life as insurgent Sioux continue a guerilla campaign against the U.S. Army.
Finding himself at odds with his politically motivated commanding officer, Colonel James Carriker, and the genocidal Captain Benjamin Sheridan, Fairfax battles to strike a balance between diplomacy and force.
But there are far deadlier forces lurking on the Great Plains. And when the Indian-hating Sheridan kills a Sioux warrior in a valley said by the indigenous people to be cursed, demons rise from the earth. The beings swarm across the prairie, attacking homesteaders, troops, and local tribes, transforming everyone into hell-born predators.
Now, as men of all tribes face extinction, sworn enemies must put politics and power aside, and join forces—or all the human races will be wiped out.
This is old-school horror author FRANK RAGE'S first novel. If you like it, he'll write some more; if you don't, he will still write some more.
