Lavondyss – Robert Holdstock (1988)

If Mythago Wood was a dream, Lavondyss is the fever after waking. It’s about a young girl who enters an ancient forest that reshapes itself around human myth and memory. Holdstock’s world is a hallucinatory labyrinth where folklore isn’t story — it’s biology.

Dense, dark, and surreal, this book rewires your brain to believe that myths are alive and hiding under moss. It’s one of those rare reads where the forest feels like it’s watching you back.
