Monsters come in all shapes and sizes . . .

It’s tough being misunderstood. Humans don’t always get us. They usually label us the villains. It's hard for them to grasp what it's like to be a mischievous fairy, condemned witch, lonely sea creature, or delusional serial killer. They can't see that we're actually here to help them. Sometimes, we don't even want to bother with them at all. But they come looking for us, so are we really to blame for their demise? Someday, they'll realize who the true villains are. Until then, we'll continue to enlighten them anytime they choose to wander through the woods.

Full of spellbinding tales, whimsical adventures, and spine-chilling thrills, Through the Woods is the first installment of a new annual anthology series for lovers of fantasy and folklore. If you like supernatural suspense, gothic fairy tales, or old-school R.L. Stine, you'll devour these short stories!

Buy it now! Take your first step and discover what's lurking in the forest, where terror, mystery, and surprises await . . .

    Hey reader!

    Thank you so much for being here on my author page. I am delighted to have you. I grew up in southern New Jersey, reading fantasy and paranormal books. I love anything that whisks me away to another world, and I wanted to create my own worlds for readers like myself to enjoy. I believe reading is not only an escape from our real-world problems, but a way to expand our minds, keep us sharp, and bring us joy. What I love about books is that we can use our imaginations to "see" what the author sees. When we watch TV or a movie, we can turn off our creativity and mindlessly view what the creators intended for us. But reading requires the engaging of our creative minds. I hope that you will enjoy my stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them. Thanks again :)

    C.C. Givans developed her love for the "dark side" in childhood. Armed with a flashlight and a book by Stephen King, R.L. Stine, or Carolyn Keene, she'd hide under the covers late at night and read for hours on end. That love slowly became her obsession.

    She wrote her first story at the age of seven, has published three books under a pseudonym, and spent a decade ghostwriting for other authors. Now she's taking her readers on a frightening journey . . .

    Explore the darkest corners of the depraved mind. Consider the possibility of alien life, ghosts, demons, and the supernatural. Travel into the future and ponder whether man's true nature will lead us to the greater good, or our own horrifying demise.

    Known for her vivid and emotionally charged prose, C.C. Givans writes stories in the suspense, psychological thriller, dystopian, and supernatural genres. She is also a co-founder of Impossible Things Publishing, with authors R.M. Carpus and D.M. Million.

A great anthology by three great authors! I’ve been a fan of R.M Carpus for a long time, so I was super excited to find out she was releasing new material. She did not disappoint! This was the first time I’ve had the pleasure of reading work by D.M Million & C.C Givans. I enjoyed both of their writing styles & look forward to reading more of their work!

I'm sure there are others like me who haunt the free book zone like because they are voracious readers whose funds can't site their book appetites, in search of worthy reads by competent authors.

THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR THEM OR ME.
The grammar is abysmal. I'd say the writing is juvenile, but that would be a terrible insult to juveniles, many of whom could probably do much better.

So many insult Twilight by way of memes that proclaim "Still a better love story than Twilight."
I'm no Twilight fan by any stretch, but Twilight is by far a better love and monster story than any of the fare here. I'd read it before opening this ever again.

Trust me. Don't go here. I have no idea how any decent rating was given this mess, but even for free it isn't worth it.

This is a collection of short stories written by a few different authors. The stories are compelling and the collection's theme is one to make readers wonder what might lie out there. I liked some stories more than others but felt all held something intriguing for readers.

I purchased this short story compilation in early August and completed reading it on September 3, 2021. I read it in small spurts as it’s been a busy month. (Note: It would have been a much quicker read if time permitted it.)

I am in love with the book cover! It completely drew me in and prepared me for the fantastical stories that transpired within the book. It made me feel like something chilling and suspenseful is about to transpire. Great cover choice!

I am happy to report that I found this book to be an enjoyable read. The stories are fantasy driven, brimming with suspense. This is perfect for summer time reading. It’s a great compilation wherein three authors come together to create an entertaining book. I appreciate each of their efforts. All three authors exhibited strong writing although R.M. Carpus’s work has a certain pull to it as even though it’s fictional fantasy, there is a sense of realism to her writing that draws the reader into the worlds she created. "Rosemary Lane" really stood out for me. Her other writings in the book are compelling, too.

I did not take the contents within the book seriously so I guess that is why I enjoyed it. I let my imagination take flight which engrossed me in the book. I believe this is what the authors intended. I read the book outdoors in the evenings so it added to the suspenseful tone of the stories. They are short stories so if you have little reading time to spare, you are able to take in a story or two from beginning to end.

I recommend this book for your reading pleasure.

It's hard to rate a collection, particularly when different authors are involved.

Million's work didn't do it for me at all. The stories seemed naive and didn't provide proper conclusions.

Carpus's stories I enjoyed. Rosemary Lane reads like Stand by Me and is easily the best story in this book.

Givans was just so-so for me. Fairy Cove built up nicely but ended too soon - she could have taken that much further.
