Mateguas Island, the story of a dysfunctional family who move to a remote island in Maine, keeps the reader guessing all the way through. Tales of an evil Indian spirit, a strange old box filled with magic, and a trail into the woods that shifts between being peaceful and menacing are all woven together as Bill and Karen Andersen try to keep their marriage from falling apart. To complicate matters, an alluring young redhead ensnares Bill while a charismatic local fisherman sets his sights on Karen. As tension mounts, Watkins' story slowly builds, keeping the reader wondering who, if any, will ultimately survive.  For anyone who enjoys, true horror tinged with the occult, this story will be right up your alley.
