"read it in one of the collection books. had to rate it seperately as it's a different story. the other story was amara and to me the lake is a far better one. i really got into who all the characters were and all their lil pet peeves, regrets over the years and general personalities. richard laymon does what he does best here. he draws you in, entrances you and shocks you a way most horror writers dont. he doesnt do it in every book so is by no means consistent, but this is one of his natural page-turners!"

    " Did not like this one at all. Too much of it went unexplained or left a big fat plothole. Also, the two female leads were completely unlikeable and I was hoping one or both would get killed off. "

    " After being told time and again that Richard Laymon is one of the best horror writers ever, I decided to give him a try. This book seemed to scramble to finding an ending, and the ending it did find seemed forced. "

    " The worst Richard Laymon book I've read so far. He usually has some pretty ridiculous things going on but this one went too far with predictable coincidences, characters falling in love ridiculously fast, and a couple rather strange characters thrown in who really have no importance to the story.

    " I have really enjoyed other books by Richard Laymon. This one was quite a disappointment. It didn't flow well. Certain aspects of the story line didn't seem to have any purpose. I don't recommend this book. "

    " Published postmortem, I'd be surprised if Laymon actually wrote this. If he did write it, I don't want to know about it. It would destroy my image of him. "

    " Since the book was released long after his death, it's hard to call this a return to form exactly, but it really did offer the best that Laymon has to offer in his man vs. man vs. nature series (that includes The Woods Are Dark, The Wilds, Darkness, Tell Us, and so on). "
