Presented by M. Leigh Hood

Step in a circle of mushrooms? Don’t panic! These tips can help keep you alive.

You told the wrong creature your name. You made a deal you immediately regret. Maybe you just said the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time. The good news is, you aren’t the first, and some have survived to tell the tale, so their pointers may be just what you need to come out of this mess with limbs, name, age, children, and sanity intact.


M. Leigh Hood is a rare beast of the Cincinnati wilds, most often found walking her monstrous hound, Shuck, or working hard to exacerbate her carpal tunnel syndrome at the computer. Her work appears in Fairy Tales Punk’d Volume II, Cincinnati Magazine, and the in-development MonThology project.
