The Quarry by Mark Allan Gunnells

An absorbing tale of small town horror, involving a long dormant evil rising up from the waters of a quarry, and threading it's way into the populace. The fact that there is a college campus at the edge of these dark waters adds to the suspense, turning the "normal" insularity of a small town into a double edged sword, keeping it's secrets both within the community, and outside the boundaries of the college itself.
Gunnells weaves an engaging story, portraying his characters with both a refreshing honesty and a sharp eye for the foibles that make them ring true.
Highly recommended.
