Publisher's Summary:

Shadow Valley is a small, isolated farming community known to few. There is little there to attract the attention of passers-by, but within one of the ramshackle old farmhouses, set in a swale some distance from the rest, there dwells a power that threatens death and destruction to any who might broach its secrets. Now, decades of tenuous stability are at risk when young Lila Ellis arrives to make the final arrangements for a project that will culminate in Shadow Valley being flooded to create a reservoir. She alone must enter the old Stevenson place, and she alone must face its terrors-beginning with a pile of seventy boxes of chocolates, one piece missing from each, delivered to the front door of the decaying house each and every year on St. Valentine's Day. Can Lila escape the evil that haunts the old place? Or will the curse continue for another generation?

Members Reviews:

Loads of terrifying horror

I LOVED this book! In fact I've reread this book a few times, The thing that drew me to this particular book was the plot of flooding a valley to make a reservoir. I've always been interested in how that is done. Add on top of that the horror aspect and I was hooked. Michael R. Collings captures moments of horror that would absolutely terrified were I in the heroine Lila's shoes. It hit all the right notes for me. Lots of interesting provenance to the story that brings it all together in the end.

Borderline interesting

I usually like Michael Colling's books but this one is hard to get thru. Much of it doesn't make sense and his descriptions are so colorfully over-involved that I lose track of what's happening at that moment because I'm trying to decipher the descriptions. It drags, in my humble opion.

Confusing!

As I read this book, I got so disgusted that there was nothing happening other than the vague explanations that the author gives. I kept waiting for the climax but this book did not deliver!

Suspenseful, fun horror tale!

Interesting twist on a haunted house story - a little bit conventional - and a little bit Twilight Zone... A quick-paced suspenseful read!

Very disappointing book

After all the hype it turned out to be very below average. I was not impressed with it at all.
