A forest. A book. A missing girl.

Charles Hayden has been fascinated by a strange Victorian fairy tale, In the Night Wood, since he was a child. When his wife, Erin – a descendant of the author – inherits her ancestor’s house, the couple decide to make it their home. Still mourning the recent death of their daughter, they leave America behind, seeking a new beginning in the English countryside.

But Hollow House, filled with secrets and surrounded by an ancient oak forest, is a place where the past seems very much alive. Isolated among the trees, Charles and Erin begin to feel themselves haunted - by echoes of the stories in the house’s library, by sightings of their daughter, and by something else, as old and dark as the forest around them.

A compelling and atmospheric Gothic thriller, In the Night Wood reveals the chilling power of myth and memory.

Overdone and Undercooked

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2020

Verified Purchase

There is sokmething very half-baked about this book. The descriptions and atmosphere are convoluted, with a strong whiff of thesaurus abuse. Characterisation is poor, occasionally even slightly disdainful. I did not get the sense thst the author liked or even believed in his own protagonists, which has the unfortunate effect of also rendering them unlikable to the reader.

The American perspective is jarring and exactly the kind of over-romantic Olde-English faux gothicism I usually try to avoid like the plague. As a Northener, I would say that despite being set in North Yorkshire, almost nothing of the English Northern character or landscapes is captured whatsoever, bar a couple of adequately observed descriptions of the moors. And by the way, Haworth is nowhere near York, it's in the Pennines. A waste of a perfectly good title and my shillings and pence.

Brilliant on all levels.Suspenseful, creepy take on a most unusual ghost story.With a genuine feel for the father and his tormented wife as they go through the process of grieving for their dead daughter .The forest that surrounds the manor house which they inherent is the real star of the book,is it haunted or not,no spoilers here ,just read it and decide yourself.Great,great tale.

Addictive Read

A beautiful book, love the orange combination, Kindle verses Physical book, this books wins!

A 'Punchy' way of writing at times, a sudden confirmation of what you are thinking as a reader, Loved that, a real experience of reading. Now.. flip it, a real challenge at times with some sentences, mostly needed as regards to the setting of the story, but still a delight to read.
The story is intriguing, interesting and sad. Frustrating at times to learn what had happened to Lissa, took ages, but...worth the wait, really fabulous writing. I found myself reading really fast, getting pulled in completely to the scene.
The characters feel aliitle distant, but good enough for the story line.
The only fault, hence four stars, not five, was the distance as a reader from Erin. Part if story is Erin's pain, difficult to read as a Mum, but I would loved her to have a 'voice' in this story. Her state of mind left her too far to connect with. Missing this was frustrating.
Loved the ending, could not have been better, could visualise it very clearly, wonderfull writing yet again.
Thank you Dale, a treasure on my bookshelf, will recommend to friends.

Beautifully, spellbindingly dark. A mesmerising bridge between ordinary reality and the rich fear of that which lies behind the veil. Loved it!
