Welcome to the Night Garden When I stumbled in, I was at the end of my rope, and so the Garden had no trouble claiming me- body and soul. I could feel Her call, warping and twisting my form into something... monstrous. As the last of my humanity drained away, all I was left with was the unyielding hunger to claim the sorceress who'd created me, The Monstrosity. ✮ When others came crawling into my forest, collapsing on top of the moss in exhaustion, I would let the Earth claim them- a sacrifice to the ancient magic that lived within it and myself. But this one was different. They'd changed and grown and became something dreadful, something horrid in their power, and something, as much as I might deny it, that belonged to me. Or rather, I to it. ✮ The hunt is on in The Night Garden, and the darkness that awaits will pull everything into shadows that prey inside the wood. This dark paranormal romance short contains dark, mature themes that may not be suited for all readers.
