博客來Roger Locke is an accomplished composer from New York. In need of a summer residence that he can retreat to when New York becomes too hot to work in, he buys the old Michell place in Connecticut. But the house is haunted, and the entity haunting it is no mere ghost-no puny dead human that our hero has some hope of comprehending and conquering. The ’Thing’ that haunts Roger is outside of his understanding, possesses power beyond his imagination, and is kept at bay solely by the resistance of his mind: a mind which, with each encounter with ’It’, has the potential to weaken and fail.
This new edition of The Thing from the Lake includes a 21-page biographical essay by Gina R. Collia, ’From the Realm of Romance to the Borderland of Dread: The Life and Work of Eleanor M. Ingram’, which includes a wealth of new information about the author and her family background.
