First review for Woodland Terrors is now out! A wonderful 5-star review from Erica Robyn!

This collection has an awesome range from the bizarre, to spooky paranormal, and even to heartbreak horror, plus so much more!

As for the stories, my gosh what a collection! The first sentence or two will suck you right into the story. With each new beginning, I would read the first short bit and say, “another one!” It’s like it was written in the guidelines that the first two sentences must draw readers right in!

Between stories, if I had to put the book down to go do something else, I had to force myself not to read the opening of the next story, just knowing there would be no putting it down after that!
