Reviews

Comprehensive in its scope and very well structured, the six parts of the book make for a thorough guide through our fears of forests. ... Parker guides her reader with obvious pleasure through her book, making us enjoy the threat of the forest 'closing like a pair of jaws,' as Angela Carter once memorably put it, around us. (Annemarie Moench, Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts, Vol. 31 (3), 2020)
