The Warning Woods | Horror Stories

The Warning Woods | Horror Stories

The Warning Woods is a collection of original horror fiction by me, Miles Tritle. I prey upon your empathy and try to leave you feeling unsettled well after the story ends. I don't write to any particular sub-genre of horror, just whatever inspires me in the moment. From ghosts to slashers and monsters both real and in your head, my stories are about anything that will get under your skin and perhaps make you question reality. If you dare, join me in this exploration of terror by subscribing to The Warning Woods. A little about myself (Miles Tritle): I have written over two hundred short stories and two novels. My novels include The Collins House and Mister Secrets, which are available in print, ebook, and audiobook formats from Amazon and Audible. I made a paperback collection of Tales from the Warning Woods and a paperback of my story The Owl available on Amazon as well. Really, I'm just a guy who loves horror and loves to write. It turns out that's all you need. Podcast Website: www.thewarningwoods.com Author's Website: www.milestritle.com
