Trees of Terror

Our friend Alan Jacobs has a marvelous essay on trees in the new issue of Books & Culture —a fine, fun walk through the forests of dendrology, beginning in his own yard.

Still, in his deep and peaceful reveries, Alan doesn’t seem to have mentioned quite all that needs to be said about trees. There’s the creepy, uncanny side of nature’s giants, as well. Via the Corner at National Review comes this link to a webpage of photos of unhappy, unfriendly, and uneasy trees. You know, the ones that want to drink your blood and steal your soul.
