Don't Let The Forest In by Cg Drews

As alluring as it is unsettling, award-winning author CG Drews' debut YA psychological horror will leave readers breathless and hesitant to venture deeper into the woods. Once upon a time, Andrew had cut out his heart and given it to this boy, and he was very sure Thomas had no idea that Andrew would do anything for him. Protect him. Lie for him. Kill for him. High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairytales that he writes for the only person who can ground him to reality—Thomas Rye, the boy with perpetually ink-stained hands and hair like autumn leaves. And with his twin sister, Dove, inexplicably keeping him at a cold distance upon their return to Wickwood Academy, Andrew finds himself leaning on his friend even more. But something strange is going on with Thomas. His abusive parents have mysteriously vanished, and he arrives at school with blood on his sleeve. Thomas won't say a word about it, and shuts down whenever Andrew tries to ask him questions...

Clear Your Shit: Unhelpful Bartender (Fantasy)

After another day of traveling we arrive at a new town instead of more forest. Since we've been on the road for what feels like forever we stop by the local bar. It looks like some of our fellow questing peasants are here too. When we ask where the witch's tower is, the bartender starts telling us a fairytale. I scribble notes in the margins of Vampires Never Get Old (edited by Zoraida Córdova and Natalie C. Parker). When she finally finishes the tale I thank her and then settle down at a table to finish reading the anthology.
