Listopia > Atmospheric Woods

Spooky woods, dangerous woods, mysterious woods. Full of secrets, monsters, mists. Maybe a forest, too--so long as it's dark, chilly, or haunted. Gnarly roots are a must.

Groups of trees in these books will ideally have a thick canopy that blots out the sun. Paths through these trees must not lead to self-actualization: only horrors, especially those that have dwelt within us all along.
