title: Woodwitch Edition Uk
author:  Stephen Gregory 
description: Gregory excels at fierce little novels about city men who move  to the country, and discover, to their growing horror, how Nature can  act as a mirror for a primitive unmanageable <i>maleness</i> they have  never confronted before. This powerfully sensual tale is about a  solicitor's clerk who tries to exile himself from his inner violence  by fleeing to a tiny cottage in the woods of Welsh Snowdonia.  He  becomes obsessed with the woodwitch (a fungus shaped like a penis),  then with various dead and/or disturbing animals that appear to him,  and finally, with the depths of his own sexuality.
