Dark Tales from the Shadows #1:...

Michal Jacot

The Armillaria Bulbosa is an underground fungus that lives beneath the surface of the earth in a huge forest near Crystal Falls, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. 
     It was born over two thousand years ago. And with each passing year, it grew. 
     Time passed, and the Armillaria continued to develop, to expand underground. Feeding…and growing. 
     It still lives today, after centuries. It lies beneath the ground, an unseen, unbelievable monstrosity: thirty-eight acres wide, four hundred tons heavy. It is one of the largest and oldest living things on Earth. And while the Armillaria Bulbosa is found in various places of the world, this particular growth and unique location is the focus of this story. The Armillaria Bulbosa, in the western portion of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, is enormous. It is hidden. It is…a beast. And yet, very few people even know that it’s there. 
     But it has been growing…and growing...and waiting. 
And for Josh Reese and his friend, Katie, the horror is far greater than they could have possibly imagined.

Baa Baa Black Sheep - Baa Baa...

L. Frank Baum

The Black Sheep is a very young sheep so he is curious about why the farmer cuts their wool off every year. "The man and his wife spin our wool into clothes to keep them warm" was the reply of a wise old ram. The little black sheep then meets the boy who lives down the lane and hears that his mother has no money to buy him a coat and he is cold in the winter so the kind little sheep asks the farmer that if he will grow enough wool for 3 bags instead of the normal two, could he have one. The farmer agrees and so this is what happens. A wonderful story all around.
