In The Darkest Part of the Woods Campbell introduces readers to the Price family whose lives have for decades been snarled with the fate of the ancient forest of Goodmanswood. Here Dr. Lennox Price discovered a hallucinogenic moss that quickly became the focus of a cult-and though the moss and the trees on which it grew are long gone it seems as if the whole forest can now affect the minds of visitors. After Lennox is killed trying to return to his beloved wood his widow seems to see and hear him in the trees-or is it a dark version of the Green Man that caresses her with leafy hands? Lennoxs grandson heeds a call to lie in his lovers arms in the very heart of the forest-and cannot help but wonder what the fruit of that love will be. And Heather Lennoxs daughter who turned her back on her fathers mysteries and sought sanctuary in the world of facts and history? Goodmanswood summons her as well . . .
