An adventure filled with fantastical terrors, where a child becomes a monster, and a monster becomes a legend. *** These were the ominous words the ghost Marmy Jo spoke when foretelling Josiah's future: "Got a world of pain comin' your way, boy-and fast! But, if you make it, you'll come out a stronger beast than many." When a wolf attack leaves Josiah mortally wounded, his sister Credence is forced to abandon him to find help. Where she went, he cannot say, for the last thing he remembers is hearing his heart stop. Josiah, the boy who died, wakes to find the world much changed. Deep within, a horror howls, threatening to tear from his bones at any moment. With his sister gone, Josiah is alone for the first time in his life, and must learn how to survive in the dark, dark woods. But how can an eight-year-old defend against devious spiders, cruel kings, and bloodthirsty titans? And how long can Josiah refuse the call of darkness before he's pulled down a path of chaos and blood? 📚 Book Three of the "Bedtime Story" Series 📚 Content Warning: This story contains violence including death of children, mild language, alcohol and tobacco use.

The details edges had been rubbed smooth long ago, but the feeling of complete and absolute terror had remained as distinguishable as the day it happened. fifteen or so years back... That fear has always kept me grounded to the forest that isolated me from the rest of the world. It kept me safe from whatever I had to run away from. Tricking me into thinking what was best for my survival, was to stay hidden. But when dangers from the outside seep into the safe haven I had created, all sense of security shatters. Suddenly the safety net is gone, and other people exist again... Some that had definitely thought I was dead. (as of 2/25) Hello!
