Ashes Of The Lake

By Dan Ryans

ASHES OF THE LAKE
A haunting psychological thriller by Dan Ryans

When Eric returns to the remote lake house where his childhood shattered, he is searching for answers, or perhaps simply silence. Instead, the creaking floorboards whisper his name; a mysterious boy named Eli appears in every reflection; and dreams seep into daylight until Eric can no longer tell memory from nightmare.

As the days slip by, those closest to him begin to fear that the house is alive. Diaries surface with entries Eric swears he never wrote, and old photographs change when no one is looking. Buried beneath it all lies a single, terrifying possibility: the horror stalking them is not supernatural at all, but a truth Eric has spent his entire life forgetting.

Caught between a love he may destroy and a past he cannot outrun, Eric must confront the darkest corners of his mind before the lake claims another life, or reveals that the real monster has always been inside the house and inside him.

Perfect for readers who enjoy the creeping dread of The Shining, the mind-twisting suspense of Shutter Island, and the emotional impact of Gillian Flynn's thrillers, Ashes of the Lake explores how far the human mind will go to bury the truth and what happens when the past refuses to stay underwater.
