Dark Valley

by Dayle A. Dermatis

Mia Jones accepts her dream job of exploring and mapping out the acres of gardens at Dyffryn Tywyll historic estate in Snowdonia, Wales, decades-long-neglected and overgrown.

She doesn’t know about its history.

She doesn’t know what lurked beneath the tangled bramble and ivy.

So much she doesn’t know when she takes the job…

From the spellbinding author of Ghosted and Beautiful Beast, gripping short story “Dark Valley” won’t be easily forgotten.
