And in the shocking opening story, a mother surfaces from the depths of the lake behind her house, where she saw something awful yet alluring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuilt, grief and relationships severed permeate this mesmerizing collection - but so do unspeakable bonds of family, love and longing, each sinister and beautiful.
