About this eBook
Myth and Terror in the Forest Deeps
The mystery of Ryhope Wood, Britain's last fragment of primeval forest, consumed George Huxley's entire long life. Now, after his death, his sons have taken up his work. But what they discover is numinous and perilous beyond all expectation.
For the Wood, larger inside than out, is a labyrinth full of myths come to life, "mythagos" that can change you forever. A labyrinth where love and beauty haunt your dreams. . .and may drive you insane.
"Utterly enthralling."
--Times Literary Supplement
"Robert Holdstock's is one of the voices at the very heart of modern fantasy."
-Guy Gavriel Kay
"One of the strangest, most beautiful and most compelling fantasies I have ever read. A marvel of a book." --Keith Roberts

Every time I read Holdstock's works I find new sophistication and new meaning, twists I never saw before. I am sad he left us in 2009, but one can always find him in the woodland.

Unusual blend of myth, time-travel and folklore. At times gives you the feeling of deep mysterious woods and time past.
