A Gathering of Doorways

Sometimes you eat the forest, sometimes the forest eats you.

Gil Anderson learns this for himself when his son Noah wanders off one hot summer day, on Gil’s watch. His wife will never forgive him for this latest transgression—not after what the family has lost already.

The forest is reaching out for Gil, a former office man now gone country on his organic farm, a fast talker who doesn’t speak quite as speedily as he thinks. It’s coming for his wife Melissa, who’s so burdened with work that she has no time to enjoy the lives they’ve made for themselves on their farm.

And the forest now wants their boy Noah, a five-year-old with a head full of tales about heroes and distant worlds.

Sometimes the forest—and what’s underneath the forest—eats you.
