What happens after the fairy tale ends? Does it stay happily ever after?

Not always. Robert Frost said, “The woods are lovely, dark and deep…” in his poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” But maybe there are things in the woods…

In this anthology of short stories and poems, authors and editors ask you: “What happens after the magical kiss, the spells dissipate, and the initial excitement of the promised happy ending? Is there truly a forever filled with rainbows and beauty and perfect, starry nights? Or might there be another, darker, more mysterious undercurrent that’s worth continuing? Could there be something still lurking in the shadows? Is magic still weaving its way into the souls of the fairy tale denizens?”

My story, “That Cottage in the Woods” takes you back to the story of Hansel and Gretel. Yes, they escaped the witch, but their story doesn’t end there… And the woods hold their secrets. Check out the other stories and poems, if you’re not afraid…
