1382 booksIn a terrifying thriller, a supernatural force—set in motion a century ago—threatens to devastate New York City. Far upstate, in New York’s ancient forests, a drowned village lays beneath the dark, still waters of the Chilliwack reservoir. Early in the 20th century, the town was destroyed for the greater good: bringing water to the millions living downstate. Or at least that’s what the politicians from Manhattan insisted at the time. The local families, settled there since America’s founding, were forced from their land, but they didn’t move far, and some didn’t move at all… Now, a century later, repercussions of human arrogance are finally making themselves known; inspectors assigned to oversee neglected dams witness something inexplicable. Their reports on crumbling infrastructure raise troubling questions about dam safety and risk exposure for all that live downstream.
In The Chill, Scott Carson reminds us of the immense power of nature. He paints a vivid picture of a man-made dam that's struggling to contain the force of the water it's holding back. It's a great reminder that no matter how advanced we become, we're still at the mercy of the natural world.
Carson's book explores the idea that the past can come back to haunt us. The town of Galesburg was drowned to create the Chilliwack reservoir, but the past refuses to stay submerged. It's a chilling reminder to deal with our past, rather than trying to bury it.
The Chill is not just a thriller, it's also a supernatural mystery. Carson weaves in elements of the supernatural, making us question what's real and what's not. If you're a fan of mysteries that make you think, you'll love this book.
Scott Carson has a knack for creating complex, believable characters. In The Chill, he introduces us to a cast of characters, each with their own secrets and motivations. You'll find yourself drawn into their stories, eager to find out what happens next.
The Chill is a book that will make you question everything. Carson introduces a conspiracy that's been hidden for decades, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the story. If you love books that keep you guessing, you'll want to check out The Chill.
