Media Reviews
"Barlough skillfully interweaves humor (high and low) with mysteries both mundane and disturbingly metaphysical. By the time we reach the 'Post Scriptum,' the literary echoes raised in THE HOUSE IN THE HIGH WOOD extend from the frothiest Edwardian comedies to the darkest Greek tragedies. A bravura performance indeed!" -- Faren Miller
-- Locus
