Figures in the Forest and other tales

Nine dark stories that will take you to the edges of

reason and reality.

A mysterious ziggurat in the jungles of Peru, a farmhouse on the outskirts of Arkham, Massachusetts, the famed Library at Miskatonic University, an old manor in the swamps of Louisiana, a farmer's market at the

edge of town, and a cemetery in Bluegrass, Michigan where a few friends will confront the ghosts of their

pasts.

In the title story, a group of young men exploring the temporary disappearance and subsequent insanity of a previous explorer delve into the depths of a fog-shrouded forest.

"In this anthology of nine stories, Phillips delivered chillingly weird fiction and ghost stories swirled with horror that show

sophistication in the craft of writing. The stories are organized expertly, with "Figures in the Forest" and "Panacea" bookending the collection nicely. Each is satisfying as a stand-alone, but when read together they are an especially entertaining escape."

-Judge, 28th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards

"If you love short stories, read C.L. Phillips. If you love horror stories and weird tales, read Figures in the Forest and other

tales. An impressive debut collection from a writer we're looking forward to seeing more from."
