A
mysterious creature subtly terrorises two young couples on holiday
in the woods. Though the other are terrified, one of the young men
begins to develop an affinity with the creature, which causes a fundamental
psychological change to occur in him. What is the nature of it’s
interest in him?
Angel of the woods appears to be a straight horror story to begin with it, but soon becomes a quite different thing. Rather than being ‘blood and guts’, it is rather subtle, the monster being mostly on the edges of consciousness. As we read on we see its really about personal growth. It is also, for the most part, realistic in setting, presentation and characters. I think this gives it a rather unusual feeling for a story that is essentially a classical ‘birth of the hero’ tale. The story ends in a way that leaves a wide option for taking the character further in a sequel.
