Dark Resurrection by F.G. Cottam

This is a sequel to F.G. Cottam's prior horror novel “The Colony.” In that book, we followed an expedition to New Hope Island. The expedition sought to unravel the mystery of why a settlement had disappeared on the island two hundred years before. Instead of answers, the expedition found ghosts and a supernatural curse. The Colony was a fast-paced story with characters that caught the reader's attention.

In this story, we learn that a writer's group has gone to New Hope Island looking for inspiration. When they disappear, a police investigation knocks on the door of Ruthie Gillespie, the one person who had declined to go on the retreat at the last minute. This police investigation starts the ball rolling as Ruthie's investigation links her to the survivors of the ill-fated investigation some ten years before. We are reintroduced to the characters of the first book and witness the changes that have occurred in their lives since the prior book.

We also get hints of occult matters that may have been at the heart of the writers' retreat. The survivors regroup for another expedition to New Hope Island to investigate the most recent disappearance.

Has the ancient evil remained? Have new occult evils intruded onto New Hope Island? Will Ruthie find love?

I found this to be a very enjoyable book. I listened to it as an audible book and was quite entertained. In many ways I enjoyed it better than The Colony, perhaps because it was liking getting acquainted with old friends.

I recommend this for anyone looking for spooky, horror, occult, mystery and the like.
