Underneath The Juniper Tree's August Issue Released: Described as "an online horror magazine for children and awesome adults", the August issue of Underneath The Juniper Tree has been released:

We explore mind-controlling daggers, Unforgiving Trees, and dead little girls with their herculean dogs. If you want dreams of snarling wolves waiting under your bed, then come to our dark hideout in the attic and tear through our terribly tempting tales and dreadfully gruesome artwork."
