A single mom returns to her home town with her son to take care of her abusive father, now paralyzed from a stroke.  Her son almost drowns in the same lake her three aunts drowned as children decades previously.  The kid is haunted/possessed by their ghosts/revenants until Mom and her doctor friend lure an elderly man to his death.

The human drama was the high point, with Graversen forgetting this was a horror novel for long stretches. She doesn’t seem to know what to do with the sisters other than make the kid sneak away from his adult supervision, a device which is used something like twenty times.

Paperback from Amazon
