“The Scream That Became A Howl”
in Bark & Bone (2023)
Horror (15)
The Wolf Wood has a guardian, and he is the reason it is full of screams.
In Bark & Bone from Space Cat Press, thirty-three writers venture into the woods in search of refuge, enchantment and buried secrets. They find the forest a site of mutation, throwing up a continual translation between the human and the arboreal.
While some travellers thrive in the backwoods, others lose themselves entirely. Mushroom pickers, witches and eco-activists stalk the undergrowth, alongside all manner of creatures. But whether spellbound, synthetic or alien, these trees call to the wilderness within us all. Light your lamp before you enter.
