Seattle: Aqueduct Press:, 2025. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 190 pp. Dark short stories. "Murky mirrors, deceptive will-o'-the-wisps, dryads who know not what they are, wings born from the sting of punishment, keys that bind bodies, the charm of springs that glow with a false fire, girls sharp with thorns, wishes granted and burdened by the weight of death, people who are anything but human and humans who are not quite people. Everything has a place in the Deep Forest, a perhaps infinite realm inhabited by all that lives within us without our consent, and where there is nothing more terrifying than a 'forever and ever.'"
