The Wood of Suicides is a 2014 debut novel by Australian writer Laura Elizabeth Woollett.

It centers on a 17-year-old girl's affair with her English teacher, after her father commits suicide.

It also borrows heavily from the myth of Apollo and Daphne, referencing it explicitly at several points.

Kirkus Reviews wrote "an anxious, uneasy, and despondent anti-romance novel.

"[1] Publishers Weekly wrote "The novel successfully creates a disturbing, ethically ambiguous effect, but the prose, though true to the voice of a lovelorn, troubled teenager, feels overwrought.
