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.”
“Filled with otherworldly encounters delivered with engaging conundrums for added value, Why Did God Make the Tree? is a delightfully unpredictable foray into psychological horror that is thoroughly absorbing from start to finish.”
— D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
“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.”
“A winding novel that delves into complex subjects through a dark, thought-provoking narrative lens . . . Some of the most haunting parts aren’t just monstrous in the story; they reflect real-world horrors. Gregg crafts one of the most thought-provoking portraits of a monster I’ve seen, one that leaves a burning, searing imprint on the conscience. It’s a raw, unflinching look at the darkness that exists both in the mind and in the world around us.”
—Renae M. Richardson, Dead Talk News
“Thought-provoking and haunting, this modern gothic tale presents psychological depth, humor, and poetic prose that will have audiences biting their nails in anticipation.”
