Synopsis / Contents:
The yielding of the forest floor reminded him of flesh. He needn't imagine that they were walking over a face the size of the woods, a flattened face that was holding its breath while they approached its mouth...
There have always been tales about the Severn Valley village of Goodmanswood -- tales of ghosts and less familiar things. In the sixties Lennox Price travelled from America to investigate their source, only to succumb to some part of it. Forty years later its growing power has taken hold of his wife Margo, their daughter Sylvia and grandson Sam. Only Heather, Sam's mother, appears able to resist it, but she cannot begin to imagine how vast and terrible it is, nor what form it is about to take. Before the end she will have to confront it and all the secrets her family conceals.
This is Ramsey Campbell's first supernatural novel since the award-winning Nazareth Hill. The author says "I believe The Darkest Part of the Woods does more that I would like a supernatural book of mine to achieve than any of my other novels."
