I Did It Again

I started a book that had horror mentioned as one of the genera listings.  The book was "Abandon" by Blake Crouch.  Since I have Amazon Prime, it was the book I borrowed for May.  It had a really interesting premise-all the people of a small mining town in Colorado disappeared on Christmas Eve a hundred years ago.  It was very well-written.  It went back and forth between current time people and those of the town back the hundred years.  Even though I found the book disturbing, I had to keep reading to find out how it ended.  And I could not just jump to the end to see how it ended.  You had to go step-by-step with the author.  The few days that I was reading it, it was on my mind and in my dreams.  I think it will be a while before I get this one off my mind.  And yet, it was a satisfying book.  The author did not leave  a lot of loose ends.  I really like that.  So, for those who like horror, it was a great book but I hope I don't ready any more like that.  When will I learn?
