Something moves in the darkness between the trees. You’re not alone in this cursed forest. Branches creek, rough bark scrapes and roots writhe just out of sight. Will these wretched creatures find you ready? Spend a short while in this forest and your gut will warn you even where your good sense fails. A sense of unspeakable wrongness hangs thick as the canopy overhead, trailing tendrils that tug ancestral memories from your bones. The twigs snapping beneath your feet are not twigs. And the prickling at the back of your neck is not from the cold. In an Epic Encounters first, Forest of the Damned was created by guest writer, Jason Charles Miller.
