Book Review: A Walk in a Darker Wood

A Walk in a Darker Wood is a collection of folk horror stories, poetry, and art from new and emerging authors.

It identifies the story as canvas. I also loved the double cat picture. It opens me up for the intensity of the story “Therein Lies a Tail” by Duan Pesice. This cat story is very unlike the rest of the book. It didn’t really feel like horror to me, but I’m sure if I was a cat, I would have been more scared.

Rod Serling famously dubbed the expanse between our greatest fears and the apex of human knowledge the dimension of imagination, the Twilight Zone. The reference to twilight (half-light, half dark) is not lost on astute readers of speculative fiction, well-acquainted with the moral symbolism of light and dark. It is the darker edge of twilight merging with night that concerns us because this is where nightmares dwell. Delving deeper into the darkness is what fuels the fearful mind.
