“Cradle Lake
Award
winner Ronald Malfi brought my complete senses into a haunting novel. There, I
embrace a thrilling horror that is best described as memorable. I won’t soon
forget the anxiousness as I rush from one page to the next to find out just
what happens next.
Alan
and Heather Hammerstun had a bad run of things in New York ,
so when Alan discovers his uncle Phillip, who he hasn’t seen in a long time, wills
him his house in North Carolina
But
he couldn’t be more wrong.
Their
new home is not picturesque; it has its problems and needs a lot of attention. The
people living in the town and the actual town itself seem to be concealing a
secret. And Alan finds out what it is—Cradle Lake
Suffering
from depression and dealing with past attempted suicides, Heather struggles to
find her way. Just when Alan and Heather think they can be a family again, the
real facts about the lake materialize, but it’s too late. Even neighbors who
try to friend them can’t help. Alan is caught in a web of paranoia, a house
that is alive in its own right, and a town he thinks is crazy.
Absolutely
recommended if you like a great horror. I look forward to more of Malfi’s work.
