Forest: Part One

If you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big surprise.Georgia is spending a summer's afternoon looking after her younger brother, Oliver. At twelve-years-old, she believes that she is an adult. Or, almost an adult at the very least. But, despite her desire to grow up, Oliver convinces her to play their favourite game. A game called the Dragon Game.The game takes a bizarre twist when something calls them from the forest that backs onto their garden. Daring each other, the siblings enter forest only to find that it's not a normal forest at all. This is a place where dreams and nightmares are made.A place they may never escape…Interview with the Author:Q - What's the idea behind "e;The Forest"e;?I recently decided to write and publish a series of short stories and novellas called "e;Horror Bites"e;. "e;The Forest"e; (Parts One and Two) is part of this collection. The idea is that these are stories that can be devoured in one sitting.As for the story itself, I wanted to write a sometimes creepy, sometimes gory, but always entertaining story of childhood innocence combined with things that go bump in the night.Q - Will I have to wait ages for Part Two? No, not at all! Part Two will be unleashed almost immediately.Q - Why should readers give these stories a go?I hope that "e;The Forest"e; will mesmerise and entertain, as well conjure memories of movies from the 80s. It's a twisted fairytale that sits quite comfortably in the Dark Fantasy genre. Readers can enjoy this story in one sitting with their favourite beverage (I'm rather partial to a cup of coffee).
