Enter the Woods…If You Dare

For centuries, the woods have been a pivotal part of the wonder and danger of fairy tales, for once you enter anything can happen. Elves, druids, fairies – who knows what you will find once you dare step into the forest?

A true queen of urban fantasy and the New York Times bestselling author of the Hollows series featuring bounty-hunting witch turned day-walking demon Rachel Morgan, the phenomenal Kim Harrison explores the world of her wildly popular series more deeply than ever before with Into the Woods, her first collection of short stories. Rachel is here, as are Jenks the pixie, elven tycoon Trent Kalamack, and an unholy host of vampires, demons, shapeshifters, ghosts, and other assorted supernatural beings, both friends and foes.

Harrison’s Hollows series remains one of the more solid and satisfying islands in the current sea of novels involving vampires, demons, and werewolves.

Hollows fans will be enthralled by the first half of this short story collection, which offers glimpses of history and new insights into many familiar characters, including demon Algaliarept, vampire Ivy Tamwood, and Jenks the pixie; first-time readers will find the stories an accessible and intriguing introduction to the series.

Including:
The Hollows
The Bespelled
Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel
Undead in the Garden of Good and Evil
Dirty Magic
The Bridges of Eden Park
Ley Line Drifter
Million Dollar Baby

Beyond the Hollows
Pet Shop Boys
Temson Estates
Spider Silk
Grace

The second half of the book goes outside of the Hollows to introduce other fantasy creatures with Harrison’s unique spin, such as the dryads who Will Temson inadvertently inherits in “Temson Estates” and the angry tree spirit with whom grandmother Emily, mother Meg, and child Lilly must come to terms in “Spider Silk.” Harrison’s talent for making supernaturals understandable, likable, and engaging is amply demonstrated in this strong collection.
