Just finished Devil Tree.This book is... *evil*. Don't know what or how this body of work came into existence, but I think Steve went to some very dark places to bring it back into the light. Even then, it's a dark piece of horror fiction, extremely moody, and creepy as all hell. If this was a movie, it'd be one of those flicks where you would notice the absence of music, where the only sounds are those made by the characters, or things pulling themselves free of the earth, and where you might have anxiety attacks when the night scenes start. There isn't a lot of gore, but dread permeates this whole story like the stench of bad meat becoming worse.I liked it. God help me I did.
