The Winter People

The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon  336 pp.

This is a good creepy story that covers a century of multiple generations of a family that lived on a small New England farm. A strange rock formation called "The Devil's Hand" is the centerpiece of the odd goings on along with a book written by a former resident Sarah Harrison Shea. Strange deaths and the existence of a "Sleeper", an undead little girl named Gertie is involved in the creepy happenings. I don't want to say too much because of spoilers. I found the story intriguing and spooky but was somewhat disappointed in the ending. It seemed to lose momentum during the modern day sections.
