  In 1959, the entire population of the remote mining village of Silvertjärn, Sweden disappeared. Sixty years later, Alice, the granddaughter of a villager who left just before the tragedy, brings a film crew back to the eerie town, hoping to use her personal connection to develop a documentary, and to bring closure to the unsolved tale. But as soon as they arrive, strange things start happening that put everyone's lives and sanity at risk, and instead of making a movie, the trip becomes a race to survive whatever evil still has its hold on Silvertjärn. Sten's novel, already a hit across Europe, is a horror-suspense hybrid, told through a dual timeline with short chapters that keep the pacing brisk and make the novel very hard to put down. The killer setup is more than a gimmick; it is a puzzle that delivers maximum dread with clues revealed with remarkable restraint, and as the situation goes from bad to worse to terrifying, readers will revel in the chills. A great choice for fans of Clay McLeod Chapman's The Remaking (2019), Thomas Olde Heuvelt's Hex (2016), and Jennifer McMahon. Copyright 2021 Booklist Reviews.

An ever prolific author, Camilla is already working on her next psychologically intense suspense novel, all while travelling the world and putting the finishing touches on the first part of her dark and atmospheric YA series.
