The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohammed. Tor.com, 2024. 9781250881786. 160pp. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781250881786?partnerid=34778&p_bt

Veris Thorn has been summoned by the Tyrant to his great castle. One of his soldiers throws her to her knees before the throne, where the Tyrant drinks from a cup made from a skull. She's not sure what he wants.

He knows she's the woman who went into the cursed woods and returned with a missing child. He tells her she will go into the woods to recover his children. They have been gone for two hours. Their trail led to the edge of the woods. The guards who went in after them disappeared; their dogs returned bloody.

Because of the nature of the woods, Veris has only a day to get the children back. The Tyrant offers her no reward; if she fails her family will be killed and her village destroyed. Worse than merely destroyed.

This book is about Veris Thorn's desperate, hurried quest into the woods, a magical realm with its own unique threats and rules. And it's the best novella I've read since Nicola Griffith's Spear.

Worth noting: I also loved Mohammed's The Annual Migration of Clouds, and there's a follow-up novella coming out soon, We Speak Through the Mountain.

I personally think it's fine to want your own friend group to not associate with someone who hurt you, if I saw people I love around someone who previously fucked me over being all buddies while knowing what happened I think I'd just walk into the ocean forever

I understand this sentiment. I don't particularly think or at least I hope they know anybody that I do, especially given the content they make now (I doubt it would match up with interests my mutuals and friends on here have). It is just the fear that they would ever be able to find my friends or myself and somehow worm their way into someone's life without them knowing. It is also a way of saying my piece without having to make it into something bigger than me.
