Description
Alex Bradley is a damaged and visionary child. Little does he know that the distorted creations of his mind are alive inside nearby Ryhope Wood. When the forest claims him, his father goes in pursuit, along with a scientific expedition looking for the secret of “mythago-genesis” . . .
But inside Ryhope, Alex has created a hundred forms of the Trickster-all of them seeking their maker, and all of them deadly.
This is an incredible blend of beauty and horror. Another organic tale from a master of Fantasy. This is the story of a father’s desperate search for a son he believes is dead. The role and function of mythagos are developed further and Ryhope Wood provides another mysterious, ever-changing backdrop to this tale of mystery. The stories of Sir Gawain & The Green Knight mingle with that of Jason & The Argonauts. A primitive Jack in the Green haunts the enchanted forest along with the Long Man of Wilmington. This is a wonderful cornucopia of ideas and legends served up in a spell binding story. Death and rebirth literally meet head on. If you’ve not read this book, you haven’t lived!
