Crestwood Lake is a small, secluded town in the woods of northern Vermont. Mysterious events and strange deaths have always plagued the community—as have rumors of witchcraft. But lately, there has been a sudden rash of suicides and grisly murders.

Captain Butch Morgan, the chief of police, must uncover the truth about Crestwood Lake. His best friend, historian Gil Pearson, suspects the satanic folklore is true. He and Morgan consult an occult expert who outlines what he believes to be the truth, and what must be done.

Meanwhile Morgan, recently widowed, has fallen in love with Vicki Larson, the local barmaid. When it becomes clear that she is in danger as well, Morgan decides to act. Morgan must confront an ancient evil: a fateful showdown that could risk his life, and the tortured town of Crestwood Lake.

In a style similar to early American horror literature, author Mark R. Vogel’s Crestwood Lake is reminiscent of the calm-but-terrifying tone of Edgar Allan Poe’s writings…and will keep you stricken in your seat long after you read the final page.

5.0 out of 5 stars You won't be disappointed in this little gem

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes horror stories done in a different way. I loved all of the little stories of the different characters and how they all connected to each other. The story immediately hit me in the first chapter and I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going on. The story kept building and building and did not disappoint. There's a couple of twists that I did not see coming. The story flows very well and I was happy with the ending and looking forward to the sequel. The book isn't too long and the author does not bore you with over development with the characters. I would recommend to anyone over the age of 15. I think that this book could be made into a mini series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be prepared to be scared!
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2017
I had the pleasure to meet author Mark Vogel at a local college where he did a presentation on 'Jack the Ripper' and his book 'The Ripper's Time', which I purchased then. He spoke about 'Crestwood Lake' also, and I later found it offered with my Amazon Prime membership. 'Crestwood Lake' is not my normal genre of fiction but I decided to check it out. What an amazing writer Mr Vogel is. He skillfully wove individual stories, at the beginning of the book, into a fascinating and frightening tale. 'Crestwood Lake' is very well-written and flows - almost - perfectly. My only 'complaint' is that the author uses far too many obscure words throughout the book when somewhat simpler words would allow the story to flow much better. I'm pretty well-read and feel I have a very good vocabulary but I had to incessantly keep looking up words. Thankfully, my Kindle Fire has the great option of allowing the reader to just touch a word on-screen and have the dictionary definition pop up. This, though, became very tiresome after a while and was a constant interruption of the flow of the story. Another note, all too often writers and speakers misuse the words 'floor' and 'ground'. Very simple really - floors are inside a structure, while the ground is outside. Mr. Vogel's proof-readers and editors seemed to miss these mix-ups. When the scene is inside the 'Grand Vin' shop, an object is described as being placed on the 'ground' when it is inside and should be on the 'floor'. The same occurs inside St. Mark's - where the 'ground' is used more than once when the object is actually on the 'floor'. Overall, though, I really did enjoy 'Crestwood Lake' and recommend it to anyone who enjoys the supernatural.
