It has been a while since I have read what I consider a true horror story, and this is definitely one of them.  It gave me the feelings that I had as a teenager reading some of my first Stephen King novels - whether it was the setting in Maine or the aspect of the story that was such horror that it was beyond impossible.  I truly enjoyed it and devoured it in one day.Mike McMahon has taken over as chief of police, and partners with rookie cop Sharon Dupont.  He had chosen her to learn the ropes of this small town because since she was the newest on the force that she would be more willing to show him the ropes without any hassle.  He didn't expect to be attracted to her as well.After a couple of gruesome murders, they are contacted by a college professor who has spent his life researching Native American tribes and customs and he thinks that there is an old Indian curse that has been reawakened in Paskagankee.  With no other leads to follow, they take a chance on him.If you are a fan of horror stories, definitely add this one to your reading list.  Even though we live in a suburban neighborhood, and not a heavily forested area like Northern Maine, it had me looking over my shoulder at our outside doors with every creak that I heard!
