Book Review: “Finding Woods” by Matt Mott
It has been quite some time since I have read any ‘modern’ horror novels. Back in my younger years I was quite a fan of Stephen King, but as I got older my reading tastes changed to literature and history with the occasional novel or book of short stories thrown in for variety. Recently I was alerted to the fact that a Miramichi resident (who has since moved to Saint John) has written a book that I should take a look at. I was able to get a review copy of Finding Woods by Matt Mott (2014, Montag Press) from the author himself.

My Amazing Pen Pal
I was born in Saint John, NB and grew up in a military family, which meant moving to a new town every four or five years. There is so much to learn about the world around us. I should know, I’ve spent the last 10 years travelling and experiencing as much as I could in 35 countries. Now, I’m returning to Canada to provide parents with a wonderful way to educate their children about people, places and cultures.
