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

4.0

Kiernan has created a melancholy, haunting tale of a writer who is struggling to come to terms with a number of recent losses. She has, as of approximately a quarter of the way through the novel, lost a lover and her health and seems to be on the verge of losing her career as a writer and her mental stability. The novel is a fascinating study in grief and the madness that it can bring about. At least, that's what I've got from it so far. Ask me in a few days what I think. So far I haven't encountered any true horror, but the atmosphere is undeniably spooky and psychologically discomforting.

I love it.
