About This Title:
The Backwoods
by Edward Lee
A backwater prostitute strangled half to death and buried
alive. Children scampering into the woods to play–and never return. Women
raped and murdered, men strung up and butchered in place–all for sport.
Corpses buried and corpses dug up, and bodies found...with parts missing. Welcome
home, Patricia...
But it's more than home that awaits Patricia when she
returns to the quiet backwoods town where she grew up.
Lust-driven frenzy and sultry dreams spark the most
erotic obsessions, while something wanton stalks her from the darkest heart
of the night. As the bodies pile up and the blood pours, the blackest secrets
are revealed.
Has the town she calls home really been cursed?
No. It's been blessed. By a nameless evil older than
sin.
Welcome to...
THE BACKWOODS!

This was my first book I read from Edward Lee and thought it was great. Not as much horror as i thought there would be. But still a great page turner. The ending is fantastic. With a great twist that makes you smile. I hope after this ending their is a sequel, but i doubt there will be.

Though I enjoyed this, I don't think it is one of Lee's better novels. Much of the basic plot was predictable and there wasn't enough character development on anyone except the protagonist. However, the ending was EXCELLENT and satisfying. I'd recommend this for Ed Lee fans, but newcomers should start with one of his other works like Monstrosity or City Infernal.
