The Way Beneath The Wood

By I F G O'Donnell

"Just finished this. I could have been reading a rediscovered treasure of the uncanny, and the contemporary details simply add piquancy. A delight and an inspiration, and an enrichment of our field." - Ramsey Campbell Fairies, fauns, ogres and other strange creatures haunt this dark and twisty literary horror tale as Nick is caught up in a centuries old struggle and set upon the road to murder and madness... and, just possibly, redemption. It's the opportunity of a lifetime: the redevelopment of a huge country estate; but the deal unravels, and with it so too do aspiring tycoon Nick's family relationships and dreams of success. Is he the victim, as he comes to believe, of the subtle manipulations of shadowy creatures from the dark, pagan past, or is he losing his sanity along with his family and everything he has fought for? IFG O'Donnell conjures the spirit of the masters of fantasy horror from the late 19th and early 20th century in this surprising, magical and intense literary tale. What readers say about this book: "A rich tale of deceit, revenge and murder, with supernatural entities pulling the strings." "I loved this book and couldn't put it down .Magical and strange and I hope there are more to come." "Powerful storytelling and accomplished prose." "Absolutely enchanting, gorgeous, powerful, marvelous. And I'm a picky reader!" "Well. What a great read. I haven't ever read anything like it before. Such an intriguing weird narrative with stories about strange goings on in between. I loved it. Very very good."
