The Nature of the Beast: Not All Beasts Hide in the Dark

Not All Beasts Hide in the DarkThe Nature of the Beast is a spellbinding tapestry of speculative short fiction, where shadows slink and truths unravel.Between these pages, beasts roam-scaled and winged, furred and fanged, creeping through underbrush or beneath skin. Dragons take flight. Shifters fight instinct. Spiders weave silent traps. Insects whisper destruction. And often, at the edge of every tale, waits the most frightening creatures of all: humans.Light flickers. Darkness looms. And in the space between, the line blurs.Who is the beast?Who is the prey?And in the end, who survives?The Nature of the Beast invites you to wander into the wild-where the soul of the creature, and the creature of the soul, are never quite what they seem.
