A fairly academic collection of essays about the uncanny in gardens – ghosts, fairy sightings, nasty things in orchards if not woodsheds… who knew that ‘ecogothic studies’ is a Thing? M R James’s ‘Ash Tree’ is maybe a bit late, but ‘A Woman in White’ is very much in. The genre is a thrilling discovery. We hope the next instalment will be called ‘The Way of the Triffids’. (The price is not a misprint.)
