Super fans. Groupies. Stalkers. These people will give anything for the idols they worship, be they rock stars, actor, or authors. Or even serial killers. Lori's obsession is with Edmund Cox, who was convicted of butchering more than twenty women. She will do anything to get close to him, so when gives her a task, she accepts. She has no idea of the horror that awaits her. Edmund says she must go to his cabin in the woods and retrieve a key to deliver to a mysterious figure known only as The River Man. She brings along her sister, and the trip becomes a surreal nightmare, one that digs up Lori's personal demons, the ones she feels bonds her to Edmund. Soon she will learn The River Man is not quite fact or folklore, and definitely not human . . . at least not anymore.

Still not entirely sure how I feel about this one but I was a fan of the folk horror aspect. That was about it.

No.

The writing itself is wonderful. The horror elements were well done. Multiple times I was nauseaus or grossed out. Good imagery.

The story? Ick.
