"A strangely lovely book…Contemplative, impressionistic and suffused with aspects of the mythic, these pieces operate at times like prose poems…" -- David L. Ulin - Los Angeles Times
"These stories convey [Macfarlane’s] talent for elevating even modest wonders with sincere attention….Macfarlane approaches the natural world with humility and a deep appreciation for the spirits that haunt a landscape." -- Emily Borrow - Wall Street Journal
"[A]n almost-too-fitting natural history for [2020]…Ghostways is designed to evoke more than inform, and often echoes what you bring to it…" -- Genevieve Valentine - NPR
"A lovely evocation of some 'spectral and unreal' elements of the British landscape." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
