This is such an interesting prompt! At first all I could think of were horror/thrillers like Bad Cree, Moon of Crusted Snow, Cold, where the environment might actually be out to get you. From your list, it changed my mind a bit, with The Innocents, The Break (and trilogy) and Denison Ave. So then I was thinking about books that really feel like my neck of the woods is a character, and thought of Jess Housty's poetry in Crushed Wild Mint, and then Monkey Beach by Eden Robinson, and the coastal forests (Son of a Trickster, also). Greenwood, for the sections set on the west coast.
@@justineetzkorn9594 I love that it prompted you to think about books in which the landscapes spoke directly to your experience. I find it really special when an author’s description pulls you physically into a story and its setting.
