Thanks to Winson Emmerson for starting this lens.

Pick of the Week

Ok, it's just a catchy name. I can't promise it will be weekly. It will depend on many factors - the foremost of which being my level of laziness. I'll be selecting a title from the list to spotlight here each...every now and then. There's no particular reason for the selections other than just 'cos. They will all get their turn.

A Circle in the Woods

Amazon Price: (as of 06/04/2012)Buy Now

Winston started this lens - that's reason enough!

On a late summer morning in 1958, Phil Stapleton discovers and rescues five-year-old Brittany Duncan after she spends two days lost deep in the Kentucky woods. Two months later, when a tree branch crashes through the rickety trailer where Brittany lives, Phil takes the girl and her mother under his roof. What follows is a decade of mystery, terror, violence, and tragedy, with no escape in sight.

A Circle in the Woods employs an experimental approach to storytelling. With limited punctuation, a snapshot plot structure, and mystery at every turn, its technique will either deliver you an enriching, spellbinding experience or send you running for the hills.

Take a peek, and decide for yourself: Who is Phil Stapleton?

    I'm on Authonomy (put a space after "Ian"), although I haven't been active for quite a while. Hamelin's Child was one of the standouts that I remember. Good luck to DJ Bennett with the Amazon venture!
