Andygrrrl – Despite being such a huge aficionado of horror, I am also actually a huge wuss – so The Red Tree comes certified as being pretty wuss-friendly. It’s very emotionally intense, but I would say ultimately more unsettling and saddening than outright horrifying. Kiernan prefers not to be called a “horror author,” anyway.

Also, it’s very nice to see a fantasy book whose main protagonists are all lesbians or bi, even if their lives are all terrible.

I’m convinced. I generally avoid the horror genre like the plague, because I’m a wuss, but this sounds like the kind of horror I’d actually enjoy!

I am both intrigued and immensely scared by that “side of ‘wtf’”. Also, I owuld like to read this. Like now.

Your review and conveying-of-boko-emotions is already enough to scare me and screw me sideways… I can only imagine what the actual book holds in store O__o
