the long version

A family reunion should be a happy event, a time to see familiar faces, meet new relatives, and reconnect with people you haven't seen in a while. But the Lynch family reunion wasn't a happy event at all. It was the beginning of a terrifying connection between three cousins and a deranged woman who, for a brief time, had been a part of the family. When these four are reunited, a bond is formed a bond that fuses their souls and reveals dark, chilling visions of a tortured past, a tormented presently and a deadly future -- not only for them, but for their entire hometown. But will these warning be enough to enable them to change the horrible fate they have glimpsed? This story explores family relationships and secrets, small-town bigotry, and the deeds of a malignant group of people that hate anyone who is different.
