{"product_id":"2940014158329","title":"Oasis","description":"A golden time -- that's what Chris Anderson, his brother Aaron, and their friends expected of that final summer. Freedom, and lazy, pleasure-filled days before the responsibilities of college and career. An idyll in the seclusion of their newfound hideaway on the shores of three small lakes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Tri-Lakes is no oasis. A millennium ago it became the focal point of a powerfully malevolent force, and the remnants of an ancient bloodfeud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHatred is its source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlood gives it power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly sacrifice can banish it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR OASIS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hodge once again plays by the rules, but with a frightening catch ... His characters breathe, and his prose is chilling and crisp.\" -- West Coast Review Of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hodge writes well, he is adept at both atmosphere and action, and his sense of story is good. Like [Stephen] King, whom Oasis continually echoes (but doesn't copy), he keeps the reader's interest -- a major task for many horror writers today ... He's made the jump from the small presses to the mainstream in a short time. Oasis is one reason why.\" -- Fangoria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Fine degrees of nuance and shading ... Hodge's knack is in invoking sympathy for his characters. He draws on a talented mix of humor and suspense to entertain. It makes for compelling style.\" -- Deathrealm","brand":"Crossroad Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152766222576,"sku":"2940014158329","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014158329_p0.jpg?v=1763601838","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014158329","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
