Product Description
It ongoing with a gorgeous woman and a challenge. As a gift for her spouse, Alyssa Bradford approaches Eric Shaw to make a documentary about her father-in-law, Campbell Bradford, a 95-year-ancient billionaire whose past is wrapped in mystery. Eric grabs the job even though there are few clues to the man’s past–just the name of his hometown and an antique water bottle he’s kept his entire life.
In Bradford’s hometown, Eric discovers an extraordinary history–a glorious domed hotel where movie stars, presidents, athletes, and mobsters once mingled, and hot springs whose miraculous mineral water cured everything from insomnia to malaria. Neglected for years, the resort has been restored to its ex- grandeur just in time for Eric’s stay.
Just hours after his arrival, Eric experiences a frighteningly plain vision. As the days pass, the frequency and intensity of his hallucinations increase and draw Eric deeper into the town’s dark history. He discovers that something besides the hotel has been restored–a long-forgotten evil that will stop at nothing to regain its lost glory. Brilliantly imagined and terrifyingly real, So Cold the River is a tale of irresistible suspense with a racing, unstoppable current.Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best Books of the Month, June 2010: Award-winning leader Michael Koryta’s first foray into the supernatural genre is spellbinding and check-your-doors-and-windows scary, and it all starts with a check and a bottle of water. Filmmaker Eric Shaw had a knack for getting the exact right shot–an unexplained tug that unerringly place him on the right path–until his temper killed his Hollywood career. He gets a shot at redemption when a wealthy young woman commissions a video tribute for her father-in-law, a dying millionaire named Campbell Bradford. A man with a shady past, a town with a rich history, and an antique bottle of water claiming to “cure all ills” lead Shaw to tiny town West Baden, where things quickly go sideways. Shaw finds himself at odds with Bradford’s only extant family tree, a bitter and violent fantastic-grandson named Josiah, and that once familiar tug of Shaw’s becomes something darker and more treacherous. At its deliciously creepy core, So Cold the River is about two men facing down their demons, and what happens when persons demons fight back. –Daphne Durham

Can I give this 2.5 stars? I’m undecided about this book. The leader is certainly no Stephen King IMHO.

When I received this book only to learn it is truly a horror novel. If you like intense emotion, cold-hearted characters and events that may give you nightmares, then this book is a wise choice. It made my blood run cold. It confirmed my dislike of this genre.

I have been a fan of this leader from his first book. He is a fantastic writer. I have really loved all of his books until now. But persons books were mysteries / thrillers / PI tales. This one is supernatural “suspense”, a genre I don’t read. Even for that, I thought the tale was reasonably poor and way too long. Now I know I can’t just see Koryta’s name on a new relief and order it; in the future I will check out the book before buying it to be sure it’s a mystery.

It is indeed worth 1 star for the possibilities but that is it. Our protagonist is probably one of the least attractive, immature personalities I’ve come across. He constantly berates himself for his egocentricity, his lack of focus, his basic self-indulgent misery and then accuses his wife of not really understanding why he must do what he does. He thinks that agreeing that he’s an ass is enough…we should all forgive his peccadilloes. GAG!
For a tale like this to work the leader really has to present characters who are not caricatures, folks we like, folks who have personalities beyond that of sitcom clowns.

This book ongoing out with a promising premise. It then devolved into a “been there and done that” kind of tale. It was a honestly entertaining read up until the last 30 pages or so and then it became pretty apparent where it was going. For a name like me that read every King book as they came out in the early days, I’ve pretty much read this tale before. If you are new to this kind of thing then it is a excellent start. I guess it just takes a whole lot these days to get me excited. Appealing tale, but don’t rush right out to buy it. Wait for the paperback.
