Human Tales

Be Wary and Beware....There are tales that every parent knows and must pass on to their child...Tales of warning and terror...of those who break their vows and kill for no reason other than malice.Tales of saving the lovely princess from a prince that is much less than charming...and what it takes to bring her home, of rescuing babes from parents not fit to raise them, and the reason no supernatural can truly win a bargain with such vile creatures.These are Human Tales.Tales by: Ivan Ewert, Matthew McFarland, Seanan McGuire, Ari Marmell, Chuck Wendig, Sara M.
