A soldier. A gardener. A hunter. A god. A fool. What will you find behind the forest's edge? Or within the silent buildings, long forgotten? What Arrives After Treefall explores nature and abandonment within fantasy and contemporary fiction. It contains poetry and short stories by Zahra Linsky and features illustrations by Carmen Devine and Tenza Nazur: ○ "Below the Greenhouse," accompanied by the poem "Follow the Forest," is a short story about an undead wolf-deer and the girls it chases into the empty depths of a greenhouse. ○ Accompanied by "A Quiet Paradise," two girls and their dog spend their final spring break of high school searching for Bigfoot in "Bigfoot Hunting." ○ In "Godskin," a young woman refuses to become the prophet of the sea god, Ransmal. It is accompanied by "Rocky Gardens." ○ Rumors become reality in the Frisian-inspired mountain town of Baarda in "That Which Spreads." Following the dares of her friends, a girl faces the deathless creature who waits inside the forest with his carnivorous deer. It is accompanied by the poem "Ruins.
