Coles The Thing from the Lake (Annotated): Enriched Edition. Gothic Mystery Novel at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The Thing from the Lake is an atmospheric work of American Gothic fiction in which a seemingly tranquil lakeside dwelling becomes the site of psychic invasion, ancestral dread, and invisible menace. Ingram shapes the novel through the conventions of the haunted-house tale, yet she gives it a distinctly early-twentieth-century cast: the supernatural is approached through nerves, perception, and quasi-scientific curiosity as much as through folklore. Its style is melodramatic but controlled, rich in shadowed interiors, heightened sensation, and the slow accumulation of unease. Eleanor M. Ingram was an American novelist and magazine writer whose career unfolded within the vibrant popular fiction marketplace of the 1910s and early 1920s. Best known for romances and adventure stories, she possessed a keen understanding of suspense, emotional intensity, and the dramatic possibilities of isolated settings. Her movement into supernatural fiction reflects the period's fascination with spiritualism, psychical research, and the unstable boundary between rational modernity and older Gothic fears. This novel is recommended to readers interested in neglected women writers of horror, classic supernatural fiction, and the transition from Victorian Gothic to modern psychological terror. It rewards those who value mood, suggestion, and eerie ambiguity over spectacle. This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience. - Hand‐picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
