“Jessica Hamilton’s THE WOODS follows Alice, reeling from the recent loss of her daughter, who thinks moving to a new house and a new town will fix her grieving family, only to face a spate of fresh horrors: the simmering rage of aging as a woman, the burden of motherhood, all of the ways in which we are overlooked. Biting, mesmerizing, haunting,  I devoured this folk horror in one sitting, with a seething pit in my stomach, knowing that one thing’s for certain: do not enter those woods.”
