Why Did God Make the Tree?
A PATRICK DENNY NOVEL
“A mystifying but endlessly absorbing tale blending surreality and issues of mental health … surprisingly cohesive, thanks in large part to the author’s deliberate pacing and unambiguous transitions.”
“Compelling debut . . . explores madness, devil worship, human monstrosity, and the way stories and nature affect our own conscious reality . . . [Gregg] weaves these braided tales into a psychological procedural best suited for readers who relish humane scares over vivid gore . . . [and] toys with expectations throughout, favoring suggestion and mystery over spoon-fed exposition, trusting readers . . . to feel their way through the murk.”
—BookLife Reviews, Editor’s Pick
“A journey through madness, love, and self-forgiveness in a modern-day gothic ghost story elevated by wit, rich characters, and proliferating mysteries . . . A master storyteller, Gregg implants exposition into the midst of powerful emotion . . . [and] deftly holds mirrors up to real-life horrors in this twisted, dark and deeply immersive tale.”
