Chilling and mysterious folklore comes to life in this supernatural thriller about a writer investigating ghost legend in a town in denial. Stakes are raised when the writer protagonist discovers a Native American burial ground under an Eastern Shore jail and begins hallucinating black shapes and undulating snakes. This poltergeist fable is based upon the spirit myth of Dorchester County as well as Lynne's personal ghost narrative. Like a parable with a little bit of dangerous truth, the ghost stories are all genuine.
Love this book!! So full of actual folklore, and very thought-provoking. I enjoyed this second reading even more than the first.
8/10/24 Reading this book for a third time now. My copy is full of notes and tons of page markers. Every time I get to know Cambridge a little better, I get the urge to read this book again, and I’ve been visiting every weekend lately 🙂
