ABOUT BOOK From C.G. Drews' Patreon:This short story is a crossover between Hazelthorn and Don't Let The Forest In. It contains major spoilers for Hazelthorn, but you could still read it even if you haven't read Don't Let The Forest In yet (it only contains minor spoilers for it). [...] This story is by Laurie's POV and it takes place during the October when Don't Let The Forest In was happening. The story takes place in the lead up to Chapter 16 in Don't Let The Forest In (and this all happens before the events of Hazelthorn). [...]Writing this was a chance to explore Laurie's previously untold perspective and I thoroughly loved being in the head of my wretched, snarky boy. The story turned out to be 9,000-words so, well !! Turns out Laurie had much to say.I hope you enjoy reading a little more forest rot.Available as free text (everyone) or epub (paid subscribers) on author's Patreon (@ Paper Fury) The narrative benefits from its balanced use of detail, offering enough description to establish context without overwhelming the reader.
