I'm always a fan of the horror genre but this month is October, so it's a special treat to kind of focus on it this month. To the extent that my attention span allows, a'course. I picked this book up purely based on the chilling title and the spookily- amazing cover porn.
When
Silla and Nori arrive at their aunt's home, it's immediately clear that the
"blood manor" is cursed. The creaking of the house and the stillness
of the woods surrounding them would be enough of a sign, but there are secrets,
too--the questions that Silla can't ignore: Who is the beautiful boy that's
appeared from the woods? Who is the man that her little sister sees, but no one
else? And why does it seem that, ever since they arrived, the trees have been
creeping closer?
Filled
with just as many twists and turns as The Dead House, and with achingly
beautiful, chilling language that delivers haunting scenes, AND THE TREES CREPT
IN is the perfect follow-up novel for master horror writer Dawn Kurtagich.
What I Had to Say About It:
Ok, yall. First this book is kind of
fucked up.
