Lorraine Wilson’s We Are All Ghosts in the Forest is a beautifully haunting tale that brings to life a world where digital ghosts linger in the aftermath of a collapsed internet.
It took me a moment to ease into the slower rhythm of the story, which is deeply rooted in nature and the quiet moments of daily life. Yet, as I settled in, I became captivated by the layers of society and secrets that Wilson gradually reveals. The setting felt vivid and alive, with the forest almost becoming a character in its own right, filled with folklore, fear, and beauty.
This book is a slow burn, but it’s rich with emotional depth and atmosphere. It had me chuckling at the joy in adversity, wiping away a few tears, and getting goosebumps. If you’re looking for a story that will gently but deeply immerse you in its world, then this quiet post-apocalyptic novel is worth every page. It’s a story of resilience, trust, and the delicate interplay between the remnants of technology and the simplicity of human connection.
