The Blair Witch Project meets Midsommar in this brilliantly disturbing thriller from Camilla Sten, an electrifying new voice in suspense. Documentary filmmaker Alice Lindstedt has been obsessed with the vanishing residents of the old mining town, dubbed “The Lost Village,” since she was a little girl. In 1959, her grandmother’s entire family disappeared in this mysterious tragedy, and ever since, the unanswered questions surrounding the only two people who were left—a woman stoned to death in the town center and an abandoned newborn—have plagued her. She’s gathered a small crew of friends in the remote village to make a film about what really happened. But there will be no turning back. Not long after they’ve set up camp, mysterious things begin to happen. Equipment is destroyed. People go missing. As doubt breeds fear and their very minds begin to crack, one thing becomes startlingly clear to Alice: They are not alone. They’re looking for the truth… But what if it finds them first?

0 0This book's premise was a really interesting one & love the idea of a ghost town where there is a huge mystery around the disappearance of so many people. You follow the granddaughter of a former resident of the small town who moved before everyone disappeared, wants to do a documentary to bring the story to light and perhaps solve it.
About 75% of the way, I thought I had solved the mystery myself but I was pleasantly surprised that I only got it half right. I was pulled into the scene with Alice with every eerie sound she thought she heard; the moaning, the footsteps, and the haunted singing. The twists in the story were gripping and I couldn't put the book down! I stayed up late just to finish it and find out what really happened to her extended family.
It was a really good read, especially if you like weird disappearances, 60 year old mysteries, and deaths that seem to happen in an instant committed by an unknown entity stalking the crew.
