The Red Tree by Caitlín R. Kiernan
5.0
Reread in 2013, directly after a reread of "The Drowning Girl" (and oh, the resonances between these two novels).
I am a massive fan of Kiernan's work, and I think the duality of books that exists in "The Red Tree" and "The Drowning Girl" marks a high point in her career. Sarah Crowe's voice is engaging, drawing the reader into this strange, strange world where stories overlap on stories and there are so many darknesses for the reader to attempt to fill.
Creepy and haunting. And I absolutely loathe the paperback cover. Cannot wait to see what the limited edition is going to look like, where presumably Kiernan is going to get some control over the cover.
