Dark Nature is now LIVE!

Generation after generation, humans have ripped apart the world, leaving garbage and desolation in our wake. Burning, destroying, and stealing from the earth. We see it happening day by day and do nothing about it. Our air is toxic with pollution along with our waters and the earth cries as it watches the destruction.

Until now.

From the depths of the darkest minds of horror comes mother nature’s final retribution. It’s time for Gaia to fight back, and karma really is a b*tch.

Dark Nature is an anthology of thirteen dark tales of nature.

☠♻️🌳 Dark Nature 🌳♻️☠

"It was bigger than Lee expected, almost the size of Bobby’s cattle dog. Lee raised the shotgun as a crash of lightning ripped across the night sky, blinding the old man as he squeezed the trigger. Lee blinked away the white spots in his vision from the shotgun’s muzzle flash and hobbled across the yard to where it had stood moments before. The animal was gone."
- Prey by Mike Marcus

"She looked in the empty husk of the tree trunk. It was incredibly dark and there was a pool of something at the very bottom. A stupid urge ran through her to step inside. Instead, she leaned her head in and looked up. The dark hole ran up through the whole trunk. The smell of earth was stronger in here than anything she’d ever smelt before."
- In The Wych Elm by Emma Kathryn
