I had pre-ordered “From the Forest” and recently received the book. As soon as I started reading it I found that I had read all of this before but I cannot remember where exactly. But I do remember the book and unfortunately already know the ending of course. Can you tell me where I read it before please?
The first seven chapters are an expanded version of the short story “The Forest Girl,” which appeared in the collection Recluce Tales. This was stated on the copyright page of the book. The rest of the book is entirely new and hasn’t appeared anywhere before [unless there are pirate editions somewhere else].
