The Spirit Wood
ByPublisher Description
A tale of supernatural horror set on an eerie estate known as Arcadia from the author of The Einstein Prophecy.
When Peter Constantine inherited a vast, remote estate, his life began to change. Free at last from money worries, Peter and his wife, Meg, could relax—and Peter could explore his new, mysterious home. From the thick woods, the winding trails, the bizarre, sensual sculpture, came a pulsing, ancient call that stirred his very soul. Then he heard the music and saw the beautiful woman who beckoned him into the wood . . . into an ancient ritual, a blood curse, a world of violent, unbridled lust.
Now his wife no longer knows him. Now Peter is transformed . . . into a pagan creature, driven by the suffocating need of animal desire . . . until pleasure is not enough, and no evil is forbidden.

“So, disclaimer.
Masello is a slight guilty pleasure. I love The Night Crossing, enjoyed Vigil and Bestiary, and liked a few others I read.
I feel like Masselo does his best work when he is doing paranormal, kinda globe trotting (or at least travelling a lot) and weirdness without getting too dark.
So while I applaud him trying something different with this one, I feel like it was a swing and a miss. Too enclosed, too dark, and not at all explained (the part where the main character finally finds out whats happening happens 'off screen' and us readers never find out the why of the whole thing. Just a straight up cursed bloodline? Why was his mother all freaked out beyond nasty associations with her dad and how did she know about all this? Whats the deal with K who shows up near the end but seems to have been the one who kicked off the whole thing? And how come they just killed his grampa but got Peter?
A lot of completely unanswered questions and some weird pacing.
But hey, sometimes a book is a swing and a miss. Won't stop me from rereading several of his and probably buying more of them”
