Centuries ago, terrified villagers spread rumors of a monster living in the woods. Once a year, they offer up a young woman to appease the mysterious creature. But what if the villagers are inadvertently creating the very thing they fear the most?
In The Skull Tree, poet Kristen Grace creates a new work of mythology and a welcome for anyone made to feel monstrous for becoming what they had to in order to survive. From the author of Wings, The Stepmother Made of Feathers, and A Love Letter to Women.
