From the preeminent author of At Fear's Altar and the occult manifesto
The Benighted Pathcomes Sylvan Dread, Richard Gavin's fifth collection
of preternatural tales. Bound within are thirteen nightmares exploring
the Sinister Pastoral, the dominion which prevails at the intersection
of mortal reckoning and the primoridum of malevolent Nature. As a
meditation on the forces of predation and parasitism, monstrous
fecundity and decay, and those hidden folk who occupy the spaces between
the branches, Sylvan Dread evokes the primeval wood -- the place where
all dreams and nightmares begin. In this isolate copse we witness the
excavation of abominations long earthbound, the twilight of the
rational, and the forgotten violence of the Dionysian Rite.
