Reunion

Lawrence Heibel’s Reunion centers on Ray Mondy, a man whose attempt to murder his wife Pam for leaving him ends in his own death. Five years later, Ray returns through Steve Thorndyke, a young medium who accidentally channels the spirit. Ray possesses live souls to hunt Pam and her new husband, Ron Candleson, while tormenting their two teenage children in Bay Haven State Park on Lake Michigan. The narrative follows the Candlesons as they attempt to rebuild their family life amidst this supernatural assault. Steve Thorndyke remains the sole witness to Ray’s true nature and his terrifying plans for vengeance. The story unfolds within the idyllic forested setting of the park, contrasting natural beauty with the horror stalking the protagonists. Heibel structures the plot around the collision of past grievances and present consequences. This book suits readers who enjoy possession narratives and revenge-driven plots set in isolated locations. It appeals to those interested in the mechanics of mediums and the lingering effects of violent trauma. Readers seeking lighthearted supernatural comedy or complex romantic subplots may find the tone too grim. The focus remains strictly on the conflict between the returned spirit and his former family.
