Agony's Lodestone by Laura Keating
5.0
“Graves could be visited, ashes scattered or held. But a disappearance rips a hole in the world the size of a life, and through it sighs a terrible and uninvited wind, repeating a single note: Gone.”
Twenty years ago, Aggie’s older sister Joanne went for a walk in the woods… and vanished from the face of the earth. When finally a videotape surfaces that might hold a clue to Joanne’s unsolved disappearance, Aggie and her brothers set off to the forest in the hopes of finally discovering what happened to her.
Part found-footage horror, part survival story, part meditation on grief, Agony’s Lodestone is by turns chilling, mysterious, and moving. I was hooked and fascinated by the twists and turns of this unique novella, which is short and compelling enough to read in a single sitting. Tenebrous Press has an eye for great stories and this one is no exception. Perfect for fans of Laurel Hightower and Catherine McCarthy.
