Closer

Come closer, and I’ll tell you a story. Would you like to hear the one about the moon’s mistress? Or how the stars lost their color? Something scary, you say. Well, I think I can manage that. Did I ever tell you how I got this scar, here on my ankle? It’s not a pleasant tale. Maybe I should choose another… No? Well, all right then

Oh, this was wonderfully creepy. The idea of the forest eating creatures that pass through it-- Eee!

lore about wanderwoods
Excellent name for them, too!

I really like the end, and the hint that they may be in danger, too!

The voice here was lovely - so lulling. The word "kids" stuck out for me, though - made me wonder because the beginning feels colloquial but older, and 'kids' seemed like a time jump.

Delightfully creepy!
