The Red Tree by Caitlín R. Kiernan
The book is a haunting narrative that delves into the psychological turmoil of an author struggling with grief and writer's block. After retreating to a secluded house in the countryside, she discovers a manuscript by a previous occupant that tells of a sinister tree with otherworldly powers. As she becomes increasingly obsessed with the manuscript and the tree's dark history, the boundaries between reality and nightmare begin to blur, leading her down a spiraling path of madness and despair. The novel masterfully intertwines themes of loss, the supernatural, and the fragility of the human mind.
