The Dark Woods: A Lesbian YA Short Story Collection by Jennifer Diemer, Sarah Diemer
THE DARK WOODS is a bewitching collection of young adult short stories, ranging from science fiction and fantasy to paranormal, all featuring a lesbian heroine. This collection is part of Project Unicorn, a fiction project that seeks to address the near nonexistence of lesbian main characters in young adult fiction by giving them their own stories.

This collection contains:

- Witch Girls (Dark Fantasy)

Every moonrise, Tam and Ailsa defy the laws of time and space to meet in the forest and kiss beneath the stars.
