Angela Slatter’s Of Sorrow and Such
I believe this is the first book in Slatter’s Sourdough world (though I know there are a bunch of short stories and I think some are earlier). This novella actually has some similar themes/characters as A Forest Darkly—the protagonist is a witch in a small town with an adopted daughter, and things start to go wrong when a local shapeshifter is injured and people are suddenly looking for witches. It’s a pretty satisfying story for the protagonist, but the daughter’s wrap up is a bit abrupt. I do really enjoy Slatter’s dark fairy tale atmospheric vibes though. A-.
