In story after story, Steve Brigman weaves a narrative pitting characters against natural forces while navigating internal turmoil in a search for existential resolution. A man starved for validation takes on a giant fish; a native woman takes on a mysterious foe to preserve the place she has carved for herself in a male-dominated culture; an aging hunter faces his mortality in the presence of a long-sought-after trophy; a couple struggles with the supernatural for their home; and a boy hunts manhood in an attempt to prove himself through an unlikely triumph. Into Those Woods challenges readers to explore man’s darkest side in search for light at the end of the journey.
