A review by chloraminecolles
The Red Tree by Caitlín R. Kiernan

4.0

I'd just like to add my voice to the chorus, and confirm that the butt-ugly cover has nothing to do with the book itself, and the mismatch is astounding. As for the novel, it's by no means perfect -- the language is so-so, I had the impression that the author wanted to create atmosphere through descriptions, but they often fell short and felt uninspired, for example -- but altogether it's a deliciously weird and unsettling read, and it gets more and more engrossing as it goes on. Recommended.
