What a story! I absolutely was hooked from the start as each character is introduced. We meet a group of folks who are invited to stay a week at a house by a lake by their long time friend Walter. As their stay progresses they learn that Walter's motives were not at all what he'd expressed in his emails and texts. Each person now has to cope with the consequences of what is happening, both physical and mental.
Loved the art, it was really striking at times and also gave me a sense of the claustrophobia that the characters would be feeling in the house. If you like a good horror/sci-fi story, definitely check this out.
