Embrace and devour the masterfully menacing stories of Dark Elves in Cloaked in Shadows.

Holly Lisle, author of Midnight Rain
A stand-out collection. The stories burrowed under my skin and followed me long after I closed the book. Spectacular.

Kevin L. Donihe, author of Shall we Gather at the Garden? / editor of Bare Bone
Surprising in its diversity. The fantasy, humor, and horror within will appeal to a wide range of readers. Highly recommendable.

Dark Realms, Issue 18
[A] delightfully twisted foray into the Land of Not and a required tome for fans of the Fey.

Book Description
Elves aren’t always creatures of the light. Some elves thrive in the darkness, stalking their unwary victims for their own twisted pleasure. Sometimes they hunt and kill for the mere thrill. Sometimes their motives are beyond all human understanding. Inside this anthology you will find elven assassins, kidnappers, and conspirators. You will find elves who are reaching from beyond the grave and those who are throwing away the heritage of their wood-addled brethren. And you will find human beings who are struggling to survive as they find themselves caught up in the games that Sidhe play. In "Bad Company" by K. D. Wentworth, a New York cop must survive a harrowing night in Central Park, a land that opens up into the realm of the fey. In "Juniper" by Elaine Cunningham, an aging Strega battles to save the life of a child from linchetto, night elves feared as bringers of nightmares. In "Rotten Blood" by Murray Leeder, a deranged elf seeks to inflict a plague upon his people. In "Celebrant" by Gerard Daniel Houarner, a grieving widower becomes the plaything of a seductive elf. Twenty-two dark tales of elves, and an introduction by the creator of Poison Elves, Drew Hayes, await you inside.
