Showing results for "Island" in Dark Fantasy

As a child, Henry Cadmus lived on Catalina Island, a scenic vacationland off the Southern California coast. But Henry's experiences were far from idyllic. Today, even though Henry has seen firsthand the horrors of war, the ghastly images that haunt his dreams are ones he associates with his childhood... and the island: a snarling pig-man holding a cleaver; a jackal-headed woman on a high balcony, dripping blood; strange occult rituals... and worse. If it was up to Henry, he would avoid the island entirely.

The first few months of school weren’t exactly easy: fated-mate from the rival clan, selkie attacks, and that minor, aka huge, plot to kill her. But things seem to be going from bad to worse. After watching a loved one’s horrific death at the hands of the alpha king, Nai decides another visit to Dark Row is in order. After all, a witch there knows the keeper of souls, and Nai wants her friend back.

El protagonista nos relata con cierto regusto nostálgico una vivencia extraña y entre real e irreal, sobre un viaje que realizó a las montañas, y su casual encuentro con una pequeña isla ubicada en el centro de un lago. El derroche de una rara y cercana fantasía que supura el relato es envidiable, y está contado con tanto detalle en tan escasa narrativa que no por menos habríamos de imaginarnos en una conversación con el protagonista y narrador.
