An exceptional collection of horrific tales with something for every horror fan.
Eerie River follow up their drabble anthology, Forgotten Ones, with 24 terrifying tales from the forest - covering pagan rituals, hikes gone wrong, monsters, ancient gods, weird creatures of the woods and much more.
With a variety of story lengths written in different styles, It Calls From The Forest will contain many stories for readers to love and keep coming back to. The entries are inventive and unique, with the authors strong voices coming through loud and clear.
The anthology flows well too, from the short, sharp shock of the collections opener the the longer pieces dotted here and there. It Calls From The Forest is top quality horror and comes highly recommended.

A creepy collection filled with stories that will make you question whether you really want to step foot into those woods. With an array of stories that are eerie, horrific, disgusting, gory, saddening, hopeful, suspenseful, spooky, and mystifying, this book will surely give you a scare.
My absolute favorite in the anthology was [a:Holley Cornetto|20136798|Holley Cornetto|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "Forest Man". It had the perfect balance of suspense that made me want to keep reading. I also really enjoyed [a:Jason Holden|19676003|Jason Holden|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "Fairies in the Forest" (creepy, gross, and intriguing), [a:Mark Towse|62495|Mark Towse|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1584915837p2/62495.jpg]'s "Jodie's Spot" (beautiful and haunting), and [a:Brian Duncan|1360187|Brian Duncan|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "Hollow Woods" (mysterious and satisfying).
This book has such a great variety of stories. No one is quite like another. They all share in the fear of the forest, but each in their own unique way. I'm looking forward to reading Volume 2.
