Critiques en avant-première

The town of Black Springs lies in the dark heart of the vast Shenandoah. A haunted land of secret hollows and dark waterfalls, the earth here is well-nourished with the blood and bones of folk who have gone before.

June, 1969. It's been three years since the terrible murders changed Dara Burke's life forever. Now in high school, Dara struggles with bad memories from that deadly time, but is determined to enjoy her last summer before senior year. Until her aunt drags her to Black Springs, West Virginia, to attend cousin Isobel's wedding.

Though not happy with the situation—Dara's never even met cousin Isobel and small towns aren't her thing—the teenager rationalizes that she'll only be gone a few days. But when she arrives at Isobel's house in the woods, she feels a deep foreboding such as she hasn't felt for three years.

Then disaster strikes when Isobel's fiance is found murdered in the deep woods.

While the police focus on Isobel, Dara knows there's more to the story. Digging deeper into the mystery, she uncovers a terrible secret that lurks beneath the surface of the seemingly idyllic mountain town.

As the line between reality and nightmare blurs, Dara realizes that Black Springs is a place that holds the darkness close. Now, something is stirring in that darkness . . . something evil.

With vivid prose and haunting imagery, Daryl Anderson weaves a tale of mystery and terror that will keep you turning the pages long into the night. Dive in if you dare, but beware: once you enter the Shenandoah, you may never leave.
