Coppice & Brake

<p>A night guard brings an offering to the eternal denizens of a notorious prison.</p><p>In a young girl's room the shiny people keep watch in the night.</p><p>A proud father beams as his son takes the stage for the performance of a lifetime.</p><p>The stories in this anthology are the glimpses of the dark places between the forest and a dream. They are the shadows seeking the last notes of a dying violin. They invite the reader into a world where a condemned man faces his fate over and over and over again. <em>Coppice & Brake</em> is an anthology of dark fiction featuring tales from the borderlands of horror speculative fiction and the nightmare fears that linger even after you turn on the lights.</p><p> </p><p>Table of Contents</p><p>Dog’s Blood Trail by Gabrielle Bleu    <br />Raff and the Scissor-Finger by R.K.
