Once Upon an Autumn (Once Upon a..., #4)
Description
An orphaned girl finds more than she bargained for when she falls into a fairy ring.
A heartbroken wizard faces up to God to bring his dog back from the dead.
A newly-graduated witch discovers horror lurking in a small town's apple orchard.
A sceptical tour guide takes an unusual job at a haunted house.
Once upon a time stories travelled from place to place on the tongues of merchants and thieves and kings alike. Pumpkins were carved, leaves turned golden, and whisperings from the darkening woods inspired tales of the strange and the dead.
In the spirit of these age-old stories comes Once Upon an Autumn, a seasonal anthology of folk and fairy tales from 14 authors across the globe. It covers the Gothic, the romantic, the whimsical, the frightening, and everything in-between.
The final of four planned seasonal anthologies from Macfarlane Lantern Publishing, Once Upon an Autumn is sure to have a story for just about everyone. Grab your copy in time for Hallowe'en today!

Persons
Hayley Louise Macfarlane hails from the very tiny hamlet of Balmaha on the shores of Loch Lomond in Scotland. Having spent eight years studying at the University of Glasgow and graduating with a BSc (hons) in Genetics and then a PhD in Synthetic Biology, Hayley quickly realised that her long-term passion for writing trumped her desire to work in a laboratory.
Now Hayley spends her time writing across a whole host of genres, particularly fairy tales and psychological horror. During 2019, Hayley set herself the ambitious goal of publishing one thing every month. Seven books, two novellas, two short stories and one box set later, she made it. She recommends that anyone who values their sanity and a sensible sleep cycle does not try this.
