Find the killer to save the souls destined to spend eternity at the bottom of the lake or succumb to its evil herself and become as black and hateful as the souls that reside within it. From the complexities of friendship, the lure of the older man, to the extent one would go to for self-preservation; Faces in Still Waters captures the consequences of holding onto guilt."There's a bit of darkness in everyone's heart and it sneaks up on us at the most inopportune moments, when we are at our most vulnerable. Our guilt consumes us with its acidic nature and eats away at the soul."If you enjoy campy horror novels, this is one you will surely enjoy.
