Root Rot & Other Grim Tales

"Our earliest lessons come from stories-heirlooms of warning passed down to us at our grandmothers' knees. Within these pages, Bram Stoker Award-winning author Sarah Read delivers fresh cautions and disturbances across eighteen grim tales. Prepare to inherit stories of fossil-haunted houses, of doorways to the afterlife. In the woods, learn of vengeful wolves and women. In the water, discovers shipwrecks stuck in time, Devonian monsters, and islands where your father loved to fish-and where your future hangs in balance. Walk into the woods, but stay on the path. Dive into the water, but never stop swimming. Listen to your grandmother. And when she's gone, become her."--Provided by publisher.
