The Green Man of Eshwood Hall by Jacob Kerr

dark mysterious fast-paced

3.0

An enjoyable read that I read in one sitting. Izzy as a character did capture my heart a little, I couldn’t help but feel for her against her tyrannical mother and oblivious father. Whilst the narrative was certainly unsettling at times, it didn’t quite pack the punch that it felt like it was aiming at. The ending in particular which should have been horrifying was ultimately mildly disturbing. Still a fun, quick read if you’re in the mood for folk horror - though this felt light on the horror and more in the realm of fairytale.
