TW; Mental Illness, Murder, Death, Ableism, Violence, Religious Bigotry, Blood, Suicidal Thoughts, Schizophrenia/Psychosis.
-
Silvertjärn has been completely abandoned since 1959, it seems that an entire village has gotten up and just left everything behind - including a body tied to a pole and a baby crying, The story flips between then and now, and in present-day documentary filmmaker Alice wants to uncover the truth as to what happened all those years ago. With an interesting familial tie to what happened, she gathers a group as they plan on scouting the town to uncover hidden secrets.
I was hooked from the start, it was so eerie and gave off the Blair Witch Project vibes. As soon as the crew arrives at the small village some weird and unexplainable things start to happen. Just when you thought you'd figure out everything, something is thrown into the loop to throw you off guard. Once I started this book, I could not put it down as I needed to know what had happened.

Trash. Stop making mentally ill people villains. Boring, slow, unsatisfying ending. I find it genuinely immoral to call this horror
