CJ Cooke says it best herself in the authors note: “I am drawn to things that loiter in the cusp between real and imagined, could live - like Alice - very happily in the spaces between the existential binaries that organize reality.”

The Ghost Woods is an eerie gothic story that delves into the darkness of humanity with a bit of the paranormal. The approach to historical issues with a bit of the supernatural is exactly what I found so fascinating about The Lighthouse Witches, and The Ghost Woods follows similarly. Definitely a creepy and intriguing read. Perfect for my last read of October.
