The Bog

What at first glimpse sounds like some ancient creature feature, actually is an intricately woven story with many fascinating facets to explore. With an eye for detail the author creates a small universe from the bog and the village nestled next to it. Like a threshold to the past, the bog holds many secrets and when archaeologist David Macauley starts to excavate them, he and his family soon become the target of an indescribable evil that has haunted the village for centuries. And once it has set its eyes on you, it won't let you go... I loved how the background of the bog's creepy history was slowly revealed, including time travel and other astounding twists that add an unexpected but welcomed depth to the story. This is not a straight-forward story, but a haunting and lingering horror that slowly creeps over you.
