Strangewood is the story of a fantasy author’s imagination come alive. TJ Randall created Strangewood as a child dealing with a tough home life. The characters were routed in reality, but the world he created was pure Tolkein fantasy. When he put this world on paper it became an international bestseller (think Harry Potter) that demanded sequel after sequel. After a while he was just going through the motions, but not really imagining the stories. The world became darker and over time less stable. Finally the inhabitants of Strangewood felt the only way to keep their world alive was to force TJ Randall to return to them… By kidnapping his son. If it sounds a little weird that’s because it is, but in the end it was a really cool story and only about 300 pages. If you’re in to fantasy at all this is a worthy summer read.
