The Red Tree by Caitlín R. Kiernan
3.0
The format of this book was interesting. It was written as a journal published posthumously following the suicide of the (fictional) author, which seems to serve as an excuse for the rambling tangents Sarah Crow goes through.
The tale was creepy and there were several sections which had me on the edge of my seat. I liked the way she teased out details about the tree's past. There were a lot of holes though, things that could've been explored a bit more and instead a bunch of seemingly unimportant details that added nothing to the story. I also didn't connect with the main character as much as I would've liked.
