Richard Franklin has left his Midwestern roots behind to live on the coast of Maine with his family. But in the autumn of the year 2000, he must return to his Illinois birthplace on a sorrowful journey. His wife Michelle has been killed in New England by a hit-and-run driver who is never found, so back home he comes with her cremated remains, to fulfill a final wish and on her birthday scatter her ashes in the park along the river in Blackwater Valley—simply Blackwater Val to locals—the small town where they both grew up and fell in love. With him he brings his six-year-old daughter Katie who still grieves for her lost mother: Katie, who can sometimes guess who’s going to be on the phone before it rings. Who can stop all the clocks in the house, and break up clouds in the sky with her mind, and heal sicknesses, and who sometimes sees things that aren’t there...people who are no longer alive. All gifts she inherited from her mother. Only something isn’t quite right in the Val. Sinkholes are opening up, revealing the plague pits the sleepy hamlet was built over in the 1830s, when malaria and cholera outbreaks ran riot. Mysterious bird and fish die-offs begin to occur, and Katie can see ghosts of the dead gathering all around. But what she can’t see is the charred, centuries-old malevolence which has been waiting for her, and wants her for its very own. Or the pale Sallow Man who haunts the town’s nighttime streets...or the river witch—another Blackwater Val, of sorts—each of whom will be drawn one by one into the nightmarish bloodletting about to take place. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

To celebrate our daughter's eighteenth birthday, my husband, James Miller, decided to go nude cycling. I told him he was too old for that and would embarrass himself, but he looked at me with disdain and said, "Liliana, your life is so boring. You refuse to embrace new things." Then he brought the dog belonging to his first love, Sophia Lewis, and placed it before me. It was then I realized it was Sophia who had organized the nude cycling event. I felt my anger boiling beneath the surface as our son, Thomas, took the leash and handed it to me. "Dad, you can go have fun with Sophia. Mom will take care of the dog," Thomas said. But when the dog lunged at me later, Thomas protected it. Meanwhile, my daughter, Alice, fought to shield me. In the end, both Alice and I were bitten to death. James didn't even take us to the hospital. Instead, he dragged our bodies straight to the crematorium. Just before I turned into a wisp of smoke, I saw Alice rolling in the flames. During that time, James and Thomas were comforting Sophia. At that moment, I felt a deep rage—rage at myself for being so naive and for causing my daughter's death. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day when my son handed me the leash. This time, I was determined to make them all pay.

Léonard m'avait aimée autrefois. Pour créer un lien du couple avec moi, il m'avait avoué son amour 99 fois. À la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième, j'avais finalement été touchée. Le jour où nous avions célébré le rituel de marquage, je lui avais offert quatre-vingt-dix-neuf cartes de pardon, avec la promesse suivante : « Je te donnerai quatre-vingt-dix-neuf chances d'être pardonné. Tant que tu ne les as pas toutes utilisées, peu importe tes fautes, je te pardonnerai toujours… Et je resterai à tes côtés. » Pendant les six années de notre lien du couple, j'avais rarement eu besoin de ces cartes. Mais depuis un an, son amie d'enfance, Julie, était revenue. Et le nombre de cartes de pardon que j'utilisais avait commencé à augmenter. Quand j'ai utilisé la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième carte, Léonard a remarqué que j'avais changé. Je ne pleurais plus. Je ne me disputais plus avec lui à cause de Julie. Je le regardais simplement, avec un visage calme, et je lui ai demandé : « Si tu vas la retrouver… Est-ce que je peux utiliser une carte de pardon ? » Léonard a hésité un instant, puis a repris son ton habituel : « D'accord. De toute façon, t'en as utilisé quoi… Une cinquantaine ? Si tu veux, utilise. » Je n'ai rien répondu. Je l'ai laissé quitter la maison. Mais il ne savait pas que c'était la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième. Il ne lui restait plus qu'une seule chance. Et une fois la dernière carte utilisée… Je le quitterais pour toujours.
