  A forest of blood and corpses. The land of a cold-blooded psychopath. 
  In Black River Forest, it’s best not to wander too far off the beaten track. There’s no telling what you might find. 
  Mia and Oliver have long wanted to explore the forest, and one cold, rainy October day, a week before their fifth anniversary of the day they met, they finally make the trip. 
  But they’ve heard the rumors as well. The haunting. A psychopath hidden somewhere amidst the towering trees. Too many missing. Too few answers. 
  It’s only rumors, though. Stories. And stories can’t hurt you. Yet as Mia and Oliver venture deeper into the Black River Forest, they’ll soon discover that there’s more haunting this quiet woodland than hikers and bears. 
  The psychopath is very real. And he’s excited to meet them. 
  From Jaydeep Shah, author of Tribulation, the first book of the Cops Planet series, “The Haunting of Black River Forest” is a bloody, spine-chilling story best read with the lights on.

  In these extraordinary stories Mark Twain takes us from the sleepy banks of the Mississippi, through frontier towns, and across the deserted gold plains of California. We encounter his countryfolk in all their bizarre variety: a cannibalistic ex-senator, a compulsive gambler, phoney travelling salesmen, and a team of bumbling detectives.
  
  The breadth, skill, and comic ingenuity of these tales remind us why Mark Twain is truly the 'father of American literature'.
  
  'Twain is still the liveliest, sharpest, most humane observational satirist and wit.' -
  A A Gill
  'Beguiling, brusquely fantastic yarns. . .' -
  John Updike
  'The greatest humorist of his age.' -
