You’ve encountered killer weed, but killer weeds?

Cat and her husband take residence in a summer cabin on a lake. Various tensions start to flare (her husband’s a real dbag) and Cat finds herself drawn to… something in the water.

This story has a kind of “simmering cool” that reminded me of a Steven Soderbergh film. Everything seems set and in its place, but you can tell terrible things are coming.

It’s great when a character thinks about how life will get better and you know that’s the exact opposite of what going to happen.

To set expectations: this is more soap opera style drama than horror, but the horror element does show up.

Extra points for use of the word clomped.

All in all, a fun, relatively quick read. Five stars.
