The Northwoods Chronicles

Children disappear in Vargas County. There's no soft or kind way to put it. In days long past, I lost a sister and then my Weesie and I lost our son. Some live in peace with the specter, some rise up and make accusations, but all of us breathe a sigh of relief when our young'uns reach puberty and we don't have to worry about them anymore.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Dark fantasy writer Engstrom (Black Leather) starts on familiar ground, but rapidly turns this 'novel in stories' into a genre-blending exploration of love, aging, grief, and sacrifice. Fast-paced, melancholy, and beautiful, the overarching narrative binds a collection of good stories into a superb if unconventional novel." ( Publisher's Weekly)

"From the ominous opening to the soaring conclusion, these braided stories - subtle and spooky and smart - will keep the reader spellbound. The Northwoods is a scary place to live, but in Ms. Engstrom's hands, it's a fabulous visit." (Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times best-selling author of The Jane Austen Book Club)
