This is the first David Bernstein I have read. It certainly won't be my last. This maybe a short read, but it packs a massive punch. Evan - the boy at the centre of the story - is a likeable character and I was rooting (sorry about the pun) for him all the way. The tree, on the other hand, sent me diving behind the settee (always a good sign). The suspense, atmosphere and tension kept me turning the pages and I literally couldn't put it down. Loved the ending - didn't see that coming. Not in that way. Excellent horror storytelling! Would make a great film too.
