7 out of 10

"Charley has a strange feeling when she sees the idyllic mill house with its cluster of outbuildings, the lake and the swirling mill stream; a powerful sense of recognition, as if she has been there before. Except she knows she hasn't.

After Charley and her husband Tom move into Elmwood Mill, sinister memories of a previous experience start to haunt her. Despite both their attempts to dismiss everything with rational explanations, the feeling turns to certainty as these memories become increasingly vivid and more terrifying.

Persuaded to undergo hypnosis, each session stops in a feeling of doom and terror. There is something hidden that the therapist cannot reach. Something that was safely buried in her past - until now. In searching back she has unwittingly opened a Pandora's box of evil. It is too late to close the lid. The terror is free."

SPOILER ALERT!!!
I re-read this one before offering it up for grabs. I thoroughly enjoyed it for the most part. If it wasn't for the three or four grizzly gruesome vivid scenes of animals getting hurt by the evil unleashed, this book could very well fit into a mild horror/mystery/drama genre. As it is, I'm definitely leaving it listed as just plain horror.

Note: My copy has a different (IMHO better) book cover, but I sent it on before I had managed to scan it. :(

I hope you'll enjoy the book. I know horrors are not everybody's cup of tea, but this one's really truly horror-like in only three or four places. :)
