Over het boek
Deep in the heart of an isolated forest lies Black Lake, a place shrouded in legend and whispered warnings. Its surface is unnaturally still, its depths unfathomable, and those who dare to linger near its shores often vanish without a trace.
When Olivia Calloway returns to her childhood town after years away, she is drawn back to the lake that has haunted her dreams since the night her brother disappeared there. Determined to uncover the truth, she ignores the warnings of the town’s wary residents and begins to piece together the fragmented history of Black Lake. What she discovers is far worse than she ever imagined—the lake does not just take, it reflects.
As she ventures deeper into its mystery, Olivia begins to notice fractures in reality—shadows that do not belong, echoes of choices she never made, and reflections that do not move as they should. The more she investigates, the more she realizes the truth: Black Lake is not just water—it is a threshold, a mirror to the lives that could have been. And something on the other side wants to switch places.
With time unraveling and the lake’s influence growing stronger, Olivia must confront the choices that brought her here. But some doors, once opened, cannot be closed, and when you stare too long into The Black Lake, you may find something staring back.
A chilling tale of fractured reality, psychological horror, and the choices that define us, The Black Lake will pull you under and never let go.
