The tranquil waters of a lake have the power to soothe our turbulent minds. I can picture myself sitting on the banks of a beautiful lake surrounded by trees with the cool air caressing my face. The reflection of the blue sky is visible on the surface of the clear water. It is the perfect picture of calm. This is a scene from my next horror novel The Lake. Although the surface appears so tranquil, deep under these waters lies a terrible secret that is over two decades old. Secrets, of course, cannot be hidden forever; they somehow have a way of coming out.
Our world is filled with people who commit evil acts. Unfortunately, they do not realize the repercussions of what they do at the time, and how such wrongdoings can impact generations upon generations. I can tie this truth with the underlying theme of The Villa in which the same subject is heavily touched upon. When one does evil acts of any sort it permeates the very fabric of our existence because life is essentially a battle between good and evil.
The main character of The Lake is a young teenage boy. When he encounters this majestic lake, he is overtaken by all it has to offer- the good and the bad. As the truth about this body of water is revealed, his innocence is chipped away and he realizes that the consequences of evil acts transcend time. Isn’t this the story of our lives? If one wants to see all that’s not good in this world, all one has to do is watch the news on television.
I forgot to mention the horror side of the story- the supernatural forces that are at work because of the hidden secret deep underneath the waters. I’m sure, as you read it, you’ll find out for yourself.
Anyway, horror, is a consequence of what people do to others; the past and present are filled with it. On the flip side, there is also the word ‘good.’ This word is pleasant to the ear and its outcomes soothe the fabric of our existence; it brings peace and tranquility to our world. Despite the trauma the teenage boy in the story faces, he walks away with the good. Why? Because he chooses to do so. He learns from the past wrong and chooses not to harbor it or act on it. This is the lesson I hope my readers will grasp. If he can do it, so can we. It’s just a matter of making that choice each day.
