Why read it?

1 author picked Within The Fog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The supernatural category often flirts with horror and Welch’s novel, Within the Fog, dives into the deep end of that relationship. With hints of Phantoms, this story harkens to early American folklore surrounding the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony in the late 1500s. This occurrence, and many like it, has capitated us and led us to wonder about these mass disappearances from around the globe. Welch draws on the human psyche to deliver his suspense and reading this book will have you thinking twice about venturing too close to the cloudy ichor we call fog.
