Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Thing from the Lake" by Eleanor M. Ingram is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to deal with themes of mystery and the supernatural, as evidenced by its exploration of a haunted house setting and its mention of apparitions. The story may revolve around Roger Locke, who has recently purchased an old farmhouse and encounters strange occurrences during his stay. At the start of the narrative, Roger Locke visits a dilapidated farmhouse in Connecticut, where he becomes charmed by its potential despite its neglected state. After purchasing the property, he decides to spend the night there, only to awaken to an eerie encounter involving a mysterious woman whose long braid of hair he unexpectedly grips. This encounter escalates into a surreal and tense moment filled with a blend of fear and intrigue, as an unseen presence lurks in the shadows. Additionally, Ingram weaves in elements of magic and folklore through the woman’s haunting voice, leaving readers to question the nature of reality and what lies beyond the boundaries of the known world.
