Like Charles de Lint, but darker in tone, Holdstock speaks of the mythical creatures, characters that are no longer seen today---or are they?

The mystery of Ryhope Wood consumed George Huxley to the point of madness. After his death, his sons take up his life's work. What they discover goes beyond all conception. For the wood is a realm where myths gain flesh and blood, tapping primal fears and desires subdued through the millennia. A realm where love and beauty haunt your dreams . . . or drive you insane.
