Lequin
Bradford County, Pennsylvania is nothing more than a pit-stop on the way to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia or New York City. Those that live there know it, but they are proud despite the small area’s corruption and monotonous regularity. The exception was Zack Bristol and his Psychology class at Salt Springs High School, who were counting the days until they could get out of their dead-beat neighborhood. Petty crime and pranks ran their course before they uncovered Bradford County’s deepest, darkest secret. It's the key to a sinister past, spanning almost 150 years back. But now it has returned, stronger than ever before. This urban legend is about to be proven and then some when Zack Bristol recounts his senior year of high school, 10 years later. Evil isn’t just a personality trait, or some kind of idea. It’s also a physical place, and it stands in the abandoned village of Lequin, Pennsylvania.

I grew up in Bradford County, my grandfather was a Machmer and my mom currently lives in Windfall! I was excited to read about this area! Jake Holmes can write a ghost story and keep you interested in the story, but the typos and grammatical errors made it difficult to concentrate on the story. Jake - I'd be happy to help you edit if you do any more writing!

Pretty similar to Stephen King’s It, and the oversexed teenagers kind of was a lot, I needed to skip over quite a few paragraphs of sexual description. But a fun, spooky story about the area I grew up in! I think the sports descriptions in the book are incredibly well-written. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

A perfectly serviceable horror novel about a group of affectionate (if oversexed) teens who break into an old church for larfs one weekend and wake up an ancient horror. A blood-soaked Bildungsroman ensues, which was made all the more enjoyable to me by the fact that it's set in my Dad's hometown county of Bradford, PA. Hence I could pretend it was him and his friends getting their kicks on Route 6 (as it were). I'm certain that growing up in a dying rural county presents a lot of stark choices, but if you're stuck in a Stephen King universe like these teens, the most consequential one does in fact turn out to be what you're going to do on Friday night.
