I can’t imagine a ghost town better than Silvertjarn. Deserted since 1959, it was utterly charming in a horrific, apocalyptic kind of way. I could imagine the buildings as if I walked through them at some point.
I may be the only person on the planet who never watched The Blair Witch Project, but I’ve seen it referenced with this book. Now I’ll have to watch it because I loved The Lost Village!
One of my favorite parts of the book — the author’s descriptions of the beautiful abandoned school, the yellow home with the green door, and the grown-over feel of the forest. Though the characters weren’t high on my list of favorites, the setting blew it out of the water.
It’s also worth reading just for the fabulous ending! While I had my suspicions about what was going on, the details were so different from what I expected.
Do you like to read spooky stories about ghost towns?
This book sounds really cool and unique! I have not seen The Blair Witch Project either. I will have to check this out as well! 🙂
