In the Woods, Dark & Deep: 9 Stories of Speculative Fiction

  


In the Woods, Dark & Deep:

9 Stories of Speculative Fiction


In The Woods, Dark and Deep is a joy ride through horror and fantasy. ...this linked short story collection...is a delightful foray into the morbid and the macabre and one of the most unique reading experiences I've ever encountered. You’d be hard-pressed to find something more innovative in the genre right now. Author D. L. Rhodes... manages to balance graphic and imaginative narratives with insightful dialogue from the most unlikely of characters.”
--Independent Book Review

“...every tale in this collection is exceptional. Primary characters are exquisitely designed, true to form according to the storyline, and believable... D. L. Rhodes excels in characterization.
... the prose used in every story is far above ordinary. In all cases, Rhodes has...created realistic, educating, entertaining, and above all, mind-blowing narratives. ... think of The Twilight Zone on steroids!”
--Readers’ Favorite (5 Star Review)

They all creep in, 
but some never come back out...
In the Woods, Dark and Deep…My Mother and Other Monsters…Can You See Me Now?


Speculative Fiction is a mixed bag--sometimes it’s Horror, other times Science Fiction or Fantasy or Magical Realism or even just a touch of weirdness tucked into the corners of everyday life. This story collection runs the gamut with characters like a monstrous mother from hell and a little boy who rises from the grave, in addition to modern day witches and ogres. Some of them are deadly serious, others are playful. And then there are those who are full of the stuff of which nightmares are made. Each story asks—what makes these strange people tick? And deep down, what do they hunger for most? No matter who or what they are, they each creep lightly through the shadowed landscape of a fictitious world, tiptoeing through the reader’s imagination, where the rules of reality must bend to allow speculation in its most dreamlike and magical form.

Dauntless Hearts: A Novel


Dauntless Hearts: A Novel


★ Reader’s Favorite Silver Medalist ★

Cumberland, 1812. Kitty Otis lost her mother to pneumonia on the verge of her seventeenth birthday. Her father did not take his wife’s passing well and was disabled by apoplexy only six months later. Kitty becomes her father’s caretaker and shoulders all the responsibilities of adulthood. Whilst her dreams of a London come-out fade, Kitty sets out to rebuild her life.

We follow Kitty’s adventures and that of her best friend, Marianne, as they navigate the perilous path to adulthood. As Kitty attempts to strike a delicate balance between society’s dictates, the wishes of her beloved family, and her own heart’s desire, only one thing is certain; when all is said and done, someone’s heart will be broken. Kitty can only hope that it’s not hers.

***

From an exciting new voice in historical women’s fiction comes a tale of love, loss, and reinvention set in Regency England.

Dauntless Hearts tackles difficult themes such as grief, bigotry, and balance between family loyalty and personal desire without overwhelming the romance or undermining the wit and occasional laugh out loud humor. Kitty Otis is such an intelligent and well-written heroine that the reader roots for her from the first page to the last. A heartwarming book in which history and fiction merge seamlessly; Dauntless Hearts is a must-read for fans of Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters.

Lolita Logic: Sex Lies and How a World Famous Teenage Porn Queen and I Destroyed Porn, Almost

 

Lolita Logic:

Sex Lies and How a World Famous Teenage Porn Queen and I Destroyed Porn, Almost


One of the most controversial, extraordinary, and newsworthy events of the 1980s this true crime memoir is a dramatic and tragic rollercoaster narrative nonfiction that reads like a novel. 

The year was 1986. Ronald Reagan’s “family values” campaign was in full swing. Caught in the middle of what was really a war on pornography, I became one of the enemies. 

I didn’t to want to get back into porn. Having worked in the porn industry for my father as a teenager left me with a repulsion to pornography in general. But then, almost by accident, I met and fell in love with the world’s most famous porn star.

As our relationship blossomed, I encouraged her attempt to leave the industry. As we found we had more in common, I realized the true predatory nature of the only career she’d ever known. That’s when the idea of bringing down the entire porn industry was hatched.

This is the non-erotic story of that surprising, sometimes violent, and emotionally thrilling journey.
