WARNING: This book will cause NIGHTMARES. This book is not recommended for all readers. Recommended for ages 8+.When it comes to frightening children, author Dawna Flowers aims to please. DEEP IN THE FOREST takes campfire stories to a fearsome new level and is guaranteed to spook young readers with four terrifying tales of horror.DEEP IN THE FOREST is based on four separate, but equally strange events occurring over the last two centuries, near the tiny isolated town of Pine Veil, in the East Texas forests of Woodsmen County. These stories have gone largely unnoticed, until now. The names of those involved have been changed to protect the innocent. Included within this collection for young readers is a haunting tale of an old woman who roams the woodlands of the East Texas pine forests, in The Crazy ‘Coon Lady. Readers will also learn of one man’s terrifying encounter with a woodland beast deep inside those same forests in, Bigfoot of the Big Woods. The horrors inside the Pine Veil forests of Woodsmen County don’t stop there. Readers will also find an old-country tale with European roots and a lesson at the end, that it pays to be nice, in The Story of Krampus. Also Included, is a slithering homage piece to H. P. Lovecraft, with an introduction to a giant-tentacled old one, and the odd-headed aquatic beast that serves it, in Along Came Cthulhu. Also included for the reader’s enjoyment is Alfred Tennyson’s, The Kraken, which is believed by many to have inspired Lovecraft to write The Call of Cthulhu, which in turn, inspired the story, Along Came Cthulhu, within this collection.
