In the midst of the woods stands a house called Lichen Hall.

Why read it?
1 author picked The Ghost Woods as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I picked up this book for its Scottish setting and gothic vibes (which did not disappoint!), but I devoured the book because of the characters who I was rooting for from page one.
It’s such a surprise and pleasure to read a large cast of (queer) women, each uniquely-drawn and with their own distinct desires and personalities. The setting of the book is brilliant as well–I cannot resist a book set in a Scottish forest. The story is threaded through with folklore, adding another layer to the gothic atmosphere.
From Angie's list on gothic set in Scotland.
