Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from:
The Thing In The Lake
by Conor Metz
.
Genre: Horror
From page 56 in the hard cover.
“There was that truck that crashed two nights ago, it sounded like it was a government vehicle. The news even made mention that the feds showed up. They were talking about that when the boy across the lake drowned yesterday, how they thought it was convenient to have two accidents in one day. What if something else is going on, something the government doesn’t want us to know?”

Synopsis
Billy McGregor just wants to enjoy his summer before high school, but a creature lurks within his lake and seems to be picking off the residents one at a time. As a horror-buff, he’s quick to pick up on this and with nobody else seeming to notice, it’s up to him and his friends to take matters into their own hands.
But they aren’t the only ones after the creature.
A local cop realizes the several deaths are linked and an organization called SID is trying to cover it up. They have their own plans for the creature, but if they don’t capture it quickly, things could spiral out of control due to a potential for infection. A single bite or scratch will turn any person it injures into another one of its kind.
It’s a race for who can deal with the creature first, but will any of them be successful against a genetically engineered killing machine?
