Publisher's Synopsis
"The house cried out to me for help. In the after-knowledge I now possess of what was to happen there, that impression is not more clearly definite than it was at my first sight of the place. Let me at once set down that this is not the story of a haunted house." Roger Locke is a successful New York composer who buys himself a farm in rural Connecticut. It does not take long before he realizes he is not alone in the house. A mysterious woman suddenly appears in the middle of the night. Roger hears strange sounds coming from the lake at the back of the house. An evil presence haunts the place ... "The Thing from the Lake" has been compared to the works of Stephen King. It is a weird and creepy supernatural classic. Eleanor M. Ingram (1886-1921) had reached a great deal of success with "The Flying Mercury" (1910) and "The Twice American" (1917). "The Thing from the Lake" became her last novel.
