So I decided to go ahead and use this book for the In the Dark, Dark Woods square, because it actually does take place pretty squarely in the woods and it helps me keep the mystery secure of what actually lies beyond the river! Trust me, to spoil that would be to spoil the enjoyment of this whole bo...
Haunted by memories of the Great War, failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family’s old estate—the Savoyard Plantation—and the horrors that occurred there. At first their new life seems to be every...
*Sigh*. This book had such great potential and loads of missed opportunities. It follows a couple, Frank and Eudora, moving to a small town in the Depression-era South. Frank has inherited a house and land that stretches back generations and he travels there to write what he hopes to be a bestselle...
I am unsure how to rate this one. It was written well, but felt choppy at times and the pacing was a bit slow. I liked it, but it was missing something that I just can’t put my finger on.

I finished it about 1130 and couldn't figure out how to get into bed without having to turn out the lights. This story scared the crap out of me.Great read. Freshest take on a certain...
Those Across the River was kind of like what M. Night Shyamalan's The Village would have been if it hadn't all been a farce. Unfortunately I could have done without 70% of the book. It would have been much better as a novella.
Originally published at my blog Chasing Empty PavementsThere is nothing like enjoying a book so much you don't want to put it down. Even to eat... or sleep...orwhatever else you do that you DON'T want to be doing because you want to read. That is how I felt while reading Those Across the River by Ch...
