But for ten-year-old Kris Barlow, it was her chance to say goodbye to her dying mother. <p/>Three decades later, loss returns--her husband killed in a car accident. And so, Kris goes home to the place where she first knew pain--to that summer house overlooking the crystal waters of Lost Lake. It's there that Kris and her eight-year-old daughter will make a stand against grief. <p/>But a shadow has fallen over the quiet lake town of Pacington, Kansas. Beneath its surface, an evil has grown--and inside that home where Kris Barlow last saw her mother, an old friend awaits her return.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The sense of dread builds slowly in this atmospheric, character-driven tale." <b><i>--Library Journal</i>, selected as a Best Horror Book of 2019</b> <p/> "Thomas is a horror novelist who will be camping out on your shelves for years to come." <b>--<i>Booklist</i> (starred review)</b> <p/> "Thomas conjures the power of grief with dreadful clarity, rendering the entity's vengeance as inevitable as it is chilling.
