A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman

A House at the Bottom of a Lake - Josh Malerman

I usually don't go for short stories, especially at this price point, but the cover design was striking and I really enjoyed Malerman's last novel.

 

'A House at the Bottom of a Lake' doesn't disappoint. It's a story about first love and fear of its loss and of the wider, stranger world yawning in front of you at 17. I feel this easily could have been developed into a novel.
