The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed
3.75
The Butcher of the Forest is a dark, bite-sized bargain of a fairy tale. There is a Tyrant, there is an enchanted forest, and there are bargains poorly and wisely struck.
The novella evokes classic fae bargains and the tone of Grimm's fairy tales. There is a price for everything here, and who pays the price isn't who we may want to. The tale is lush and ominous from start to finish.
If you are a dark fantasy fan and enjoy twisted tales (thinking the horror-tinged Kingfisher works) this one is for you.
