False-Kin Chronicles

Some monsters hide in the dark. Others are the reason we fear it. Three dark fantasy tales. Three encounters with the things that haunt us. And three reminders that monsters aren't always what they seem. Of Rats and Fauns The Pied Piper has returned, but this isn't the fairy tale you remember. In this dark retelling, the melody is familiar, the bargain is deadly, and something far more sinister lurks beneath the surface. Some debts demand more than anyone is willing to pay. Wraith of the West A nameless stranger wanders through a haunting Western landscape where the past refuses to stay buried. Some legends are born of blood. Others linger long after the world has forgotten their names. The Nightmare Nurse Mazuki has found her dream job: a crisis unit full of nightmares for her to devour. But when a violent storm plunges the facility into darkness, the balance between predator and prey shifts. The nightmares are no longer content to be eaten. And something far more ancient is waiting in the dark. Three stories. Three monsters. One unsettling question: What makes a beast, and how much of one lives inside us? The Beasts We Are is a dark fantasy collection of interconnected stories set in The False-Kin Chronicles universe. New to the series? No prior reading is required. Those who know the world, however, may find a few extra shadows worth exploring.
