Widower Jerry is looking to move away from the home he shared with his late wife, and when his realtor suggests a community in the Poconos, he figures that's as good a place as any to live out his remaining years. But when he moves in, not everything is as it seems. There are weird noises at night, and raucous parties that seem way out of line for a neighborhood full of retirees. Also everyone looks surprisingly youthful. Obviously, something is up, and Jerry's suspicions are only confirmed when a woman dies on his front yard only to reappear the next day, as vivacious as ever.
It's nice reading a horror novel with older folks at the center, and I particularly enjoyed the way Keisling melded the supernatural with very real fears of dementia and other late-in-life maladies (and also a skeezy HOA president, because of course). This was very enjoyable, and I'll definitely be checking out more of Keisling's books in the future.
