The call of adventure awaits those bold enough to answer…
Return to Mirstone and join these heroes as they embark on epic quests, searching for lost treasures and unlocking the secrets of forgotten lands.
From the depths of dark forests to the highest peaks of mountains, these tales will transport you to a magical world filled with heroes, villains, and mythical creatures.
Get ready to be swept away by adventures that will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
Only the brave enter the woods—those who aren’t afraid of witches, shapeshifters, curses, and darkness. In this delightfully eerie anthology, only the fearless survive. These spooky, fantastic, and gothic tales will remind you that bedtime stories—those read in the dark—are for adults too.
Women of the Woods promises to keep you up at night while introducing you to more than a dozen talented authors. From dark fantasy to folk horror, Women of the Woods has a mix of frightening stories reminiscent of those by Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Washington Irving but with a modern touch.
Enter the woods… if you dare.
Stingy Jack, a soul not allowed into either Heaven or Hell, has wandered the earth for 300 years, with only an ember demon inside a turnip-carved lantern to keep him company. But on this All Hallows' Eve, he may have just figured out a way to end his punishment. He'll need to seek out seven spirits from all across Ireland, and collect seven special items from them. Not all ghosts are friendly, and this might be the last All Hallows' Eve that Jack ever sees.
Based on the Irish legend, this novella continues the tale of the origin of Halloween traditions.
“The storytelling is imaginative, vivid in description, complimented with sparkling prose and shining vocabulary that a teacher would love. A.R. Cook's treatment of language is reminiscent of E.B. White (Elements of Style, Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little)…”
-Toasted Cheese Literary Journal
"Cook has a very lyrical voice and I love the way she incorporates
so many interesting references to history and mythology into the
plot. An exciting journey filled with magic, mystery and mythological
creatures."
-Krista Russell, Author of "Chasing the Nightbird" and "The Other Side of Free"; Winner of the Parents' Choice Silver Honor Award
"Cook transports us across time... across Europe... and beyond... with a cast of fantastic
mythological creatures... She keeps us hanging by a thread from The Curtain until we skid into the end. A real page turner!"
-Karen Doornebos, Author of "Definitely Not Mr. Darcy"
