    When you cast a spell to save your town, what could go wrong? Wilson Parish has fallen to a crime wave that's transformed the once-quiet community into a hub for organized crime. Desperate times call for desperate measures-so when Freeman McCray discovers an old family recipe for conjuring a hero, he gathers six townspeople to try it. One serpent's tongue. One queen bee. Two vials of blood marked "grace" and "mercy." And something to mold the hero's form. But Freeman didn't unroll the scroll far enough to read his great-great-grandmother's warning. In a hero's sight, there is no in between. Either it's wrong... or it's right. A dark fantasy short story about the danger of calling for justice when no one is innocent.

    A retelling of an old legend from Roche Rock, Cornwall, England, from the 1400s. When a leper named Ogrin seeks refuge in the ruins of a windswept Cornish chapel, the village of Roche largely lets him be. But when a wild-haired girl appears among the granite boulders-barefoot, unblinking, speaking to rooks, and stealing pennyworts off walls-people begin to whisper. She's too strange. Too silent. Too different. They call her Janet. They call her healer. Then they call her witch. No one dares climb the rock - not until a priest is called from Bodmin with scripture, soldiers, and fear in his eyes. But Roche Rock, and the people around it, keep their secrets close, and those who go looking for demons may not like what they find. Set in 15th-century Cornwall and steeped in Gothic atmosphere, The Witch of Roche Rock is a tale of suspicion, superstition, and salvation ... or is it damnation? A retelling of a local legend, this is a short story for lovers of folklore and ghost stories, and tale of tolerance and the importance of accepting others' differences.
