Latham's Landing
Three stories about visitors facing evil at Latham's Landing
Tara Fox Hall presents a collection of three distinct narratives set within the cursed boundaries of Latham's Landing. Each story examines how different groups encounter the island estate’s malevolent history. Sandra and her friend Tina arrive to investigate the disappearance of a relative, treating the paranormal activity as a recreational pursuit. Their casual approach contrasts sharply with the reality of the location. In another tale, four college students travel to the abandoned grounds to gather material for a thesis on fear. They seek inspiration but find only danger. Meanwhile, Caroline Stone leads a group driven by bitterness and revenge. Her goal is to destroy the estate that claimed her fiancé, hoping their collective hatred will overcome the island’s relentless evil. Hall structures these separate accounts to show varying motivations for visiting the site. This volume suits readers who enjoy interconnected horror anthologies where multiple perspectives reveal the same dark truth. It appeals to those interested in gothic traditions and supernatural fiction. The book may not satisfy readers looking for a single continuous plot or lighthearted entertainment. Each story stands alone yet contributes to the overarching atmosphere of dread surrounding the estate.
