Book Review: The Lost Village

If there were one word to describe this book, it would be “unsettling.” And if I could give this more stars, I would! I loved the atmosphere and the incredibly slow burn of the book. It kept me on the edge of my seat with its creepy twists.

To describe the book, think The Blair Witch Project meets Midnight Mass meets Midsommar. The second the film crew sets foot in the abandoned village, you know something is horribly, horribly wrong.

Summary: Documentary filmmaker Alice Lindstedt has been obsessed with the vanishing residents of the old mining town, dubbed “The Lost Village,” since she was a little girl. In 1959, her grandmother’s entire family disappeared in this mysterious tragedy, and ever since, the unanswered questions surrounding the only two people who were left―a woman stoned to death in the town center and an abandoned newborn―have plagued her. She’s gathered a small crew of friends in the remote village to make a film about what really happened.

But there will be no turning back.

Not long after they’ve set up camp, mysterious things begin to happen. Equipment is destroyed. People go missing. As doubt breeds fear and their very minds begin to crack, one thing becomes startlingly clear to Alice:

They are not alone.

They’re looking for the truth…
But what if it finds them first?
