Lois's headlong quest to discover the truth about the disappearance of Mrs. Whitcomb almost immediately begins to send her much further than she ever wanted to go, revealing increasingly troubling links between her subject's life and her own. Slowly but surely, the malign influence of Mrs Whitcomb's muse creeps into every aspect of Lois's life, placing her son in danger.
This book has some commonalities with [b:Syndrome E|13589136|Syndrome E (Franck Sharko, #3)|Franck Thilliez|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1337193592s/13589136.jpg|14360342] and the movie The Ring - a super creepy experimental film causes havoc and the main character is trying to hunt down who made it and why. The answer to "who made it and why" in this book goes off in the direction of Eastern European folklore that I'd never heard of before, which made it really fascinating. There's never really any particularly scary moment, but the whole book is filled with this creeping dread that I couldn't read it at night.
