Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Marcia on April 17, 2013

I started with Robert Masselo's Vigil & was surprised to see he had written a few books earlier. The Spirit Wood was published in 1987. I really enjoyed it, right up my alley. It kept me interested, one of those stories you want to get back to as soon as you can when you're not reading it. I'm not v......more

Goodreads review by Matt on May 14, 2023

I thought this was pretty enjoyable and after a bit of a slow start, it was never boring and Mr. Masello clearly knows how to keep the pace moving and the reader engaged. My only complaint was that the ending wasn't as horrific as I would have preferred but that's really not a criticism of the story......more
