"A haunting story of deep loneliness, raw wounds, wild magic, and the freedom of transformation. Wif. Noun, Old English: A Woman; this word is also the origin from which the word "wife" is derived. Contrast with "wer," a man. Wulf. Noun, Old English: A Wolf, a wild carnivorous mammal of the Canidae family, which lives and hunts in packs. WIFWULF is an original folklore myth telling the story of Charity Bjornsdotter, a young woman in 1860's Montana who spends her days in the woods with her closest friend, a local wolf she calls Silver Slash. Charity is on the precipice of marriage to the most handsome man in her small village, the mercurial-yet-beloved Paul Skeld. But as her husband isolates her from Silver Slash, she begins to feel a call to the wilds... for it is there that her true destiny awaits. WIFWULF is the harrowing tale of a woman forcibly separated from that which makes her feel alive, a reinterpretation of the classic werewolf myth... and the origin story of a new goddess. A successfully funded, beloved project on Kickstarter, WIFWULF explores a few facets of trauma but especially speaks to relationship abuse, something that has touched more than one member of the creative team. It's a story that reminds us that even when you feel at your most monstrous, you can find your way back. But not unchanged. It is also a story about werewolves. About bloody revenge and deep loneliness. About the secret, sad meaning behind the howls we hear from the dark forests on the darkest of nights. Experience this haunting story in the dark of night, in whatever moonlit warren you call home -- or shed your skin, embrace the night, and run wild with magic -- and become forever changed."--

An old evil now sails aboard a company ship, hoping to make a home in this new found land. But he will soon find that the ground along the Indus is an ancient one with daemons and legends far older than himself. Along these savage shores, where the days are scorched and the nights are full of teeth"--Back cover.
"Welcome to Lost Turkey! A town where the main source of entertainment is a cursed DVD machine that seems to know more about the fate of its citizens than they do. When a resident of Lost Turkey walks into the Stop n'Shop Convenience/Gas, they grab a bite and a gab with Penny, who keeps the business running while her father is fading away (literally). Trapped in the box of horrors that make up everyday existence, Penny and the other residents find escape in the only entertainment in town: a DVD rental box that holds the town's darkest secrets hidden within its depths - and the movies the residents rent. Where their fates are framed within the films they choose, and where they may be able to find a way out - or not. Lost Turkey: a small town where opportunities, dreams, and entertainment are limited, but where secrets - nightmares - are limitless."--Publisher description.
