The novel begins with a family and friends camping trip. Everyone starts to tell frightening stories. They are all, of course, make believe. All with the exception of the story told by Rosie's father. Because, he assures his audience, his story is different. Because it is true.
The house on the other side of the lake is cursed, the daughter of the family of the house went missing and, so the legend relates, anyonme who gets to near to that house will also vanish.
Rosie and Jenny don't believe it. However as events unfold it become obvious that the curse is a real, true thing and that someone else will soon be the target.
They receive evidence that the curse is genuine. As the story progresses they are scared by the possibility that they too will become victims of the terrible mist.
Can they escape? Or are they also doomed to be lost within the mist forever?
Who is really behind the curse? And is there something magical that is stronger than the curse that can defeat it?
It's a compelling read and costs £7.99 from Matador.
