North Woods

by Daniel Mason

Featuring New England, nature, and lots of ghosts, this gorgeous Americana epic feels like fall. Across centuries in one house, old-friend archetypes (spinster homesteaders! phony psychics!) vividly come to life and, often, death, while nature waxes and wanes. As modernity approaches, those bones in the orchard may be our salvation. This is capital “R” Romantic.
