Summary "Tree, Spare that Woodman" by Dave Dryfoos is a science fiction novella written in the early 1950s. The story explores themes of fear and the unknown as humanity grapples with the mysterious and possibly sentient forest life on an alien planet. This book delves into the psychological impact of fear, particularly when characters confront entities that challenge their sense of safety and understanding of reality. The narrative centers around Naomi Heckscher, who, along with her husband, Ted, discovers the body of their neighbor, Cappy, under alarming circumstances. As they come to terms with the deaths that have occurred on the planet linked to the unnerving "tree-things," it becomes clear that fear is a weapon these entities exploit. The story unfolds as Naomi struggles to protect her young son, Richard, from the trees that appear to be intelligent and able to manipulate minds based on one's fears. The tension escalates as Naomi faces the terrifying prospect of her son being drawn into the trees' influence, ultimately leading to a confrontation that blurs the line between reality and imagination. Throughout the story, the psychological torment of fear and its potential for destruction plays a central role, weaving a compelling tale of survival in an uncertain world.
