Publisher's Summary
When people go missing in the sleepy town of Smith’s Hollow, the only clue to their fate comes when a teenager starts having terrifying visions, in a chilling horror novel from national best-selling author Christina Henry.
When the bodies of two girls are found torn apart in the town of Smiths Hollow, Lauren is surprised, but she also expects that the police won't find the killer. After all, the year before, her father's body was found with his heart missing, and since then everyone has moved on. Even her best friend, Miranda, has become more interested in boys than in spending time at the old ghost tree, the way they used to when they were kids.
So when Lauren has a vision of a monster dragging the remains of the girls through the woods, she knows she can't just do nothing. Not like the rest of her town. But as she draws closer to answers, she realizes that the foundation of her seemingly normal town might be rotten at the center. And that if nobody else stands for the missing, she will.
What the critics say
"In the mid-1980s, a terrible curse mixes with the dark hearts of prejudice and misogyny to feed on small suburb of Chicago. This is no nostalgia trip. A true page-turner, The Ghost Tree is sharp, nasty, and unflinching in presenting its supernatural and everyday horrors." (Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World)
“Christina Henry’s riff on classic small-town horror is full of dread and dark magic, with themes that resonate heavily in 21st century America. Henry’s storytelling is her own sort of witchcraft.” (Christopher Golden, New York Times best-selling author of Ararat and Red Hands)
"Henry writes with a keen eye for detail, drawing readers into the disturbing world with pitch-perfect ’80s nostalgia and plenty of eerie atmospherics." (Publishers Weekly)
“Henry is able to keep all the strands of her spider’s web woven together in a neat and concise way...The end result is a complex, interesting story with that maintains suspense and intrigue page after page after page.” (Sadie Hartmann, Cemetery Dance)

Something is wrong in this idyllic town...
Wonderfully creepy. From the first stirrings of off behaviour with the residents I was hooked. Despite a couple of niggling plot points I wholeheartedly recommend this novel and will be looking into more from this author!
You may want to check out the trigger warnings before taking the plunge though. While nothing is graphically depicted there are some monstrous human behaviours that take place.
