About the Book
The Wolves Of God And Other Fey Stories is a collection of short stories that blend nature, folklore, and the supernatural with elements of horror and mysticism. The stories often delve into the complexities of human emotions, particularly those surrounding isolation, fear, and the unknown. The first story follows a man returning to his homeland after thirty years in the wilderness, confronting deep anxieties and haunting memories. His reunion with a family member triggers a series of unsettling emotions, hinting at a past filled with terror. As the narrative unfolds, the protagonist’s connection to nature becomes a conduit for the existential dread and isolation he feels, leading to a chilling revelation about a dark sacrifice made in the wilderness. The collection as a whole evokes a sense of foreboding and mystery, exploring how the natural world can become a backdrop for supernatural horrors and psychological turmoil. Through each story, the authors examine the human psyche, illustrating how past traumas and the isolation of nature can collide to create lasting fear and existential unease.
