"In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as Der Fisher: the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it."--Publisher.

I felt like too much of the book focused in on the second set of characters introduced, almost unnecessarily so, and wasn't presented in a way that was ever REALLY suspenseful or horrifying to me, at least throughout most of the book. It made for an enjoyable story, but at times I found myself finding it hard to really want to keep reading. Overall, it was a good read though, like, a strong 3.
