Voices of the Future: Stories of Adventure and Imagination
Featuring The Hungry Woods, a short story by Victoria Shanks
Ever since the wedding went awry, the Whipplewild-Limberlong Pie Feud has consumed Hornswoggle Hollow. Nobody cares about anything else; especially not about the orphan Cloven. That is, nobody but the jilted bride Miss Floraleen, who raised Cloven like her daughter.
Until Miss Floraleen wanders into the man-eating Hungry Woods.
Desperate to rescue the one person who loves her, Cloven leads her brother on a quest into the Woods. They must brave ferocious flora and fearsome fauna as they search for Miss Floraleen… and in the process, they may just solve the mystery that began the feud.

Featuring What Happens At the Lake, a short story by Victoria Shanks
I was but a fresh-faced eighteen-year-old, the summer I worked grounds crew at Camp Sand Lake.
Sand was a given, being smack in the Mojave Desert, and it would’ve been omitted altogether in an alternate universe where “Camp Lake” made good branding. The eponymous lake, however, was a mystery. How deep was it? What fed it? Why did growls drift from the basin on still nights?
