I've been having some issues with gothic novels of late because they're missing the personification of place that I love in gothic literature. However, this novel isn't just a gothic novel, it's a gothic fairytale! And the difference is the place they personify isn't typically a manor, a school or a building but a forest/ruins or in this case...orchards.
Which was done pretty well once you saw it for what it was.

Plus! It's a retelling of the Johnny Appleseed mythos in a macabre sense. Which I greatly enjoyed. That isn't a story that you retold often, and never quite in this way...
